Thoughts on Trump’s recent sports views

[EboBebo]

Who wants to bet me

That NFL ratings will be down at least 10% on average for this season (excluding Super Bowl) based upon nationally recognized sources, such as televised ratings excluding "views" on twitter or some bullsht like that.

[SYKO227]

still more than trumps.. ******* claims more ppl side with trump on this issue. that 'tiny' 1M middle fingers say ' NO '

It's true, no one gives a chit what celebs or athletes have to say. He gets likes because those people are already following him because they like his shoes or something.

The rest of us are not waiting around wondering what some celeb thinks.

Guaranteed if thumbs down/dislikes worked, it would go against him if others bothered to follow. YouTube thumbs down doesn't do **** like it used to, only thumbs up or neutral.

Do a real poll, actually do 20 random polls and see how most of us feel.

People don't view Vietnam as a justified war, so no one cares about draft dodgers. And really, the issue isn't Kaep vs Trump, its Kaep vs America. He's purposely saying he doesn't want to stand because of the country, which is why this is an easy win for Trump.

I support Kaep's right to do this, but liberals are falling into an obvious trap by pig-backing Trump's tweets. Far more will side with Trump when it comes to respecting the anthem. Last poll I saw had Kaep support at around 30%.

He literally went to Africa for the 4th of July because he didn't want to celebrate "racist America." These morons think middle America supports nonsense like that.

Look at Lebron's likes, bro! His likes!

I won't take that bet, but I doubt it's the politics of a few players that are the problem. The NFL is pricing themselves out of business.

[EboBebo]

Come on libs. Take the bet. Goodell is on your side. You gots the kaepernicks

[TaeBoNinja]

??? learn to use internet.

Lebron's tweet is NOT about kapernicks.. why are you even bringing it up ?

Disregard, meant to quote WestAfrica from the post above yours.

You wanna bet Trump doesn't make a 2nd term?

Trump is only making people take sides. I guarantee more of America supports America than some liberal pipe dream

What odds are you giving me? You seem confident.

lefties: Vietnam war is illegal american imperialism and fascism!

also lefties: dodging the draft is un-american!

if we're pointing out hypocrisies, the left is millions of times worse

Pretty much. The whole optics of this debate is one side saying America is a horrible place, and the other side saying to show pride in this country. I don't think the president siding with the pro-America side will hurt him at all with most Americans.

[z4v4]

Generally the way this works is the guy who needs odds because he's taking the worst of it, should come up with the line.

[nn586]

nope. keep coping...

1M middle fingers that is...

enjoy..

enjoy.

Trump is a virtual lock for a 2nd term at this point.

It works like this then:

1. Trump has to be the formal nominee
2. If he's formally nominated, but he withdraws in say October 2020 I lose the bet.
3. Presuming trump is the formal nominee, I want 6:1 odds.

He's right, you guys will prolly have Kanye West run, that's how pathetic you guys have gotten srs

Donald Trump makes more sense than that dotard.

Both can be true. People are pointing out Trump's hypocrisy rather than expressing outrage at a draft dodger, but go ahead and miss the point.

[tnel00]

Libs get pissed at Trumps "grab em by the pussy" comment, but ignore this creep copping feels on camera for 8 years

[dabbmw2002]

Why isn’t draft dodging five times a disrespect of the flag? Amazig stuff right? Maybe people would respect Trump more if he didn’t do/did the opposite of what he says/does. Kneeling/not standing for anthem vs. draft dodging, “likes his soldiers to not be captured”, “I’ve always wanted a Purple Heart, easiest way to get one”. How can what Trump does be respectful but what NFL players do be disrespectful.

I've never disparaged anyone, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat for dodging the draft during Vietnam.


If tomorrow we invaded North Korea in a bloody and costly ground war, how many liberals here would call those dodging a draft unpatriotic??? Zero. Let's not pretend otherwise

You can respect your country's flag and anthem and at the same time, vehemently oppose the actions of the current government. The irony is if idiots like Bennett and Kaepernick really wanted to make an impact, they wouldn't drag their activism onto the field. Imagine how many more people they could reach and how many ears would bend if they respected the flag, and then in their personal time made their case for improving this country? A lot more.

Lol, if Trump makes it that far, he's def better than 14%.

Wtf, you guys? I'm not a liberal, democrat, or voted for Hillary. Dude won't probably make it through 2018. Y'all just blind.

no they can't, the first statement inherently implies that you do not view "being american" as launching illegal wars and instituting a draft

you can't go on to say that not participating in said illegal war or draft is "un-american"

They are reaching more people doing this then any other way they could do it. If Kaep held a meeting in SF about the issue no one would care or talk about it. How many athletes have charities or support certain issues that you can name of? I doubt you can name a single one. How is one supposed to know that Larry Fitzgerald has a kids charity in Arizona? Kaep and Bennet by doing this get tens of millions of people talking about the issue.

Link to Trump’s opposition to the Vietnam war. Was he advocating that he was against the war at the time or after the fact. Looking back now you can say that people could have dodged it seeing as how it turned out. What happened to serve if your country calls you?

The US Left/Liberals having been chitting on the US literally and figuratively since the 1960s. They got their Apology Tour with 8 years of inexperienced-community planner-President Obama.

Now we aren't going to apologize anymore for who we are, a country built on the backs of Africans, Chinese, English, Indians, Irish, Italians, Japanese, Polish, Polynesians, Spanish, amongst many others, and accomplished so much in such a short time.

Quit taking anecdotal incidents and exaggerate them as larger than they are.

The ultimate irony is the US Left loves Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, but anyone that travels knows their socioal dynamic and racial divisions are far worse, and at 1930s type levels in places like the Middle East and Asia.

Don't act like the English didn't own 75% of the world, don't act like the Dutch weren't money brokers for the Atlantic Slave Trade, and don't act like the Middle East and Asia weren't the first slave owners, and still have a huge part in the present day slave trade.

No more, we aren't embarrassed to be Americans. The actions of one cop are not representive of all cops, the same way you says one terrorist doesn't represent an entire religion. Practice what you preach.

BRB If you really cared about [Insert Color] Lives, you'd be just as upset about the regular shootings in US cities, not just when a cop shoots someone

Cliffs:
-You're lucky to live in America
-You've become rich in America
-America isn't close to being the worse place on the planet
-Quit being a snowflake

Again, white supremacists "some very fine people", professional athlete who protests "son of a bitch".

I'll give you 6:1 today on Trump not getting a 2nd term.

Trump was already the nominee at that point. You scared to take my terms? My terms are easy, it's basically the same as the last election. Trump vs Hillary, except Hillary is replaced by someone else.
