NFL Players Stepping Up Protests Since Trump's Comments?

Here are some interesting exerts from Judge Jeanine's article:

The biggest issue facing our country today is the tip-toeing and political correctness that has brought us to the brink of disaster in national security, politics, and sports. The question now is: do we have the fortitude, courage, and determination to stand up to those who threaten our values?

According to USA Today NFL player arrests are not only disproportionate to the general population, but the violence associated with these arrests is shocking. And I'm not even talking about the homicides.

And Commissioner, instead of taking sides against the national anthem, maybe you ought to think about your stock holders, your investors.
Even though the stock market, thanks to President Trump is at an all-time high, there is one area that is suffering greatly. Companies that broadcast, yes, the NFL games.
They are all down. Do you think that just maybe there is a correlation between the NFL broadcasting stock slump, the NFL TV ratings fall off, as the protests by these Bozos rises? Attendance is down at NFL games.* Sunday night football viewership is down at least 7 percent.
I’m sure you know that, as ESPN has become more political, it has had to lay off employees because of its ratings.


The same liberals who want to protect the constitutional right of people like Colin Kaepernick to symbolically reject America by taking a knee were the ones quick to criticize Tim Tebow for bending a knee to pray and thank God on the field.

All of a sudden football players are lovers of the Constitution and the First Amendment -- you're full of crap. And that includes Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy who called the president a word that I can't say... You want to kneel, sit, or raise your fist during the national anthem, you ought to go kneel in front of a guy who has lost his limbs fighting for you so that you can call the president that!
And don't give me this crap that you guys want to support reform and stand up against social injustice.
You tell me the last time you sat on a jury.
You tell me the last time you joined a school board or fought for laws that help the people you supposedly want to help.
When was the last time you voted? Wrote a letter to your legislator or congressional representative?


MY FAVORITE PART:

You want to convince America that this is about social justice and the Constitution then maybe you ought to get off your ass and do something positive for the country that has allowed you to make a fortune.
America has been incredibly good to you. From the time you displayed talent in sports as a youth America allowed you to shine and become financially prosperous.



Judge Jeanine is an extremely intelligent person, and a true patriot. I find myself agreeing with her even more than I do Lou Dobbs and certainly more than Stewart Varney, both being two of my favorite main stream media types. Frankly, if we ever did have a female President, I would hope that it would be the esteemed Judge Jeanine. :Thumbs:

Meanwhile, I heard Judge Napolitano this morning sticking up for them using obviously libertarian logic. And it's not that I think they don't have a legal right to show their rears, it's just that such behavior ought not to be tolerated by employers who are at the mercy of John Q. Public in the first place. (the public will eventually make the gutless owners pay for their acquiescing in the matter) The good judge claimed that in spite of the fact that the players' stated grievance against their nation and the sitting President (who is innocent as charged BTW) has been articulated in an abundantly clear fashion, that somehow we still cannot say legally we know what they're actually thinking. Frankly though I do appreciate his intellect, I'm glad he's off the bench. What a load of incoherent mishmash.
