This is blowing up in 45s face. Labron's tweet to the Orange FUCKFACE.

U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!"

Ya this is going to turn into a big backfire for trump.

BLM protesters in Saint Louis last week were burning the American Flag on news footage. If those BLM protesters didn't hate the flag then why were they burning it?

So basically if any black man shows any dissatisfaction or protests in any manner you automatically conclude that he must be a member of BLM which to you is a pure terrorist organization - whose agenda is what? Getting world rid of white people?

Already happening. They just played a clip of the pre game in London, the players and coaches either knelt or locked arms, both all symbols of solidarity basically telling 45 to go fuck himself. 

Outside getting that fucker impeached, this is one of those times where I am less afraid of one sicko destroying our country. The ability to protest power is the cornerstone of an open society.

What 45 does not get, is his roll as a politician. He and his supporters would claim he is partaking in free speech himself. Moron cant understand, or does not care to accept, that there is a huge difference between the tone a private citizen has and the RESPONSIBILITY a person in office has. 

When you are in office, there is a responsible way to disagree without vilification or scapegoating. When you are in office you are in the roll of diplomat, not protagonist. 

45 has turned politics into an episode of Jerry Springer. But it is good to see sports stars telling him to go fuck himself.

Yea, I am not being polite with my words, but the sports stars are, and that is more than 45 is giving them. 

45 simply cannot stand that he is not the center of the planet or universe.

I was going to post something along the lines of Collin should have come up with something the fans in the stands can emulate if they want (stadium aisles aren't large enough for kneeling) and the religious tone to kneeling is giving me some heartburn . . .
-however-

this morning Idunno . . . .

Here we go.

Quote:Entire team takes a knee: Pittsburgh Steelers to stay in locker room during anthem after Trump’s attacks

Now if only they would stop playing "Murrica the Beautiful" during the 7th inning stretch at Yankee Stadium.  As the saying goes -

Did anyone catch the pregame of the Steelers, I missed it. News reports were saying they intended to stay in the locker room. Did they really do that? If they did, kudos to them.

My son said he heard they did it to avoid the whole situation.

Um then that would not be the way to do it. What is the official statement by the team?

No. This will blow up on the NFL. The NFL has been losing ratings for some time now. This bullshit that those fucking spoiled ass multi millionaire players are pulling is just going to make the NFL'S ratings tank even more.

BREAKING IN THE NEWS: Just heard that multiple people have been shot at a Church in Antioch, Tennessee. About 6 to 8 people reported shot so far.
