Again, that is the perception , whether accurate or not, of what the kneelers are doing. And why its not changing minds and never will because its never worked before.

Reasonable to describe one who champions a communist police state and all the crimes and injustices that come with it are the "worst" of your party .

It has everything to do with kneeling. As a tactic to change minds and sway opinion anti patriotism has always been a loser in the US.

Stunt would be to confirm a full list of attendees. Mysteriously cancel at last minute. Trump stands on empty stage. Kneelers, liberals, etc rejoice as Trump is rebuked.

As I said anti patriotism is an old tactic used not just in racial issues. And again it reinforces the notion of unngratefullness and resentment at the attempt to,be made to feel guilty over love of country, culture etc.

Fans are still invited no? Seems most of the anger is over the fact the Eagles were deprived of their stunt thinking the White House wouldnt dare cancel.

No deflection . You introduced the comparison of what other presidents do. Obama placating the worst of his leftist base by celebrating Cuba as you condemn Trump for placating the extreme among his own base.

Kneelers miss the point in not realizing people take offense to the national anthem being used as a prop when there are other ways to bring attention to their cause. "USA is racist etc so your patriotism is wrong and thus makes you complicit for participating" is a very old tactic by the Left. It never works. A wonder why theyre trying it again. All it does is reinforce the image of being ungrateful at best, seditious at worst.

No surprise, that.

I can only assume Jenkins is equally frustrated with the kneelers and their apologists around the league for their tactics over shadowing and robbing attention of the outtreach work he described.

If one's notion of an ideal society, which many on the left do, is Communist Cuba, "far left" is accurate by any measure.

But the President s position was never as nuanced. Its been pretty clear and the majority agrees with it: its inappropriate and disrespectful to kneel. Which explains why he continues to double down and win on this.

Polls consistently show a majority of Americans in general and NFL fans in particular support Trumps position on kneeling during the national anthem.

So when Obama played to his far left base and cheerfully reopened diplomatic ties with communist Cuba , a police state who murdered and jailed thousands of opponents forced thousands more out the country put homosexuals in prison camps, plotted and participated in the overthrow of countries around the world, deliberately smiling in front of a mural of a murderous Che Guevara and said nothing of human rights abuses.... You thought what, as a "conservative" ?

Canadas friendly marxists and election meddlers Leadnow found a willing partner.

Trump didnt endorse it and you know it. What Barr said was outrageous and deserved to be fired. But some arent fired and that should be said too. And since we are at the end you can say you hate Trump and what he stands for and stop pretending to be impartial

Until motives of boycotters are spelled out its reasoable to tie the anthem issue to it.

Yes, but always apolitical not and endorsement. A gesture from the head of state.

So ABC dropped the ball for ever hiring her in the first place?

Did anyone actually say why they werent.? Seems like theyre catching on to the fact anthem issue isnt changing minds the way they thought so theyre tip toeing around it ?

I think the ape part was a shot at her facelift. And I thought she was of Iranian muslim extraction.

Dunno about the planet of the apes part but the muslim part may have been her jewish heritage coming through. Whether thats racism or a reaction to muslim anti semitism who knows.

The players who planned not to attend.

The player boycott isnt over the kneeling issue ?
