Why dont we just cancel professional sports till we can get some players that want to play, without telling me what my politics should be. The ones now are anti-American millionaires and will be able to take care of themselves. They should be aware that my life wont change one bit if they dont play. I havent watched the NFL for a couple of years now anyway.

Hunting fishing and golf will be winners in all this.

Don't watch, then. Some of us enjoy professional sports.

You can stop watching any time. Nobody cares.

Yeah.....shut the **** up and dribble, skate, drive or whatever the hell it is you do.

Unless you are saying something I like....then say it loud, say it proud.

His false patriotism and free speech supercedes their free speech because they are black, liberal or (gasp) both.

Exactly, and in my case cycling. It is better to be in a sport than set and drink beer and eat Cheetos, and get fat.

The Belgium Grand Prix from Spa is this weekend. Its one of the few races that I watch because of the history of the track.

There is also a shortened Tour De France this weekend. Sweaty buff guys in spandex are always on my schedule. Yummy.

Somehow I fail to believe that a person who claims to be very conservative enjoys a eurocentric sport such as cycling. Most conservatives like to whine about cyclists on the roads forcing them to slow down and move over to pass because they'd rather hit them as targets with their pickups and SUVs.

Why are you trying to tell the players what their politics should be?

Why are players telling everyone what their politics should be?

They're not. That's just the language of white grievance, aka, fake victimhood.


When Kap kneeled, he was stating his own political beliefs. It was you people - the ones screaming "son of a bitch!" and "fire him!" - who were trying to tell him that he wasn't allowed to engage in that political speech because it hurt your feelings to see someone protest police brutality.

But white grievance does what it does, and so you convert his political speech against police brutality into a personal assault on your freedumbz. Moronic fake victimhood.





Put another way: your name is RetiredUSN. Did you swear an oath? If so, was it to the country and the constitution? Or was it to pieces of cloth made in China and a song about the 1812 war?

Yeah, exactly. It was a whole big bunch of stupid, that complaining about his protest. You don't watch football for the anthem - you're probably putting the finishing touches on a plate of nachos in the kitchen and grabbing another pisswater "beer" - you watch it to see oversized males hit each other repeatedly.

Behind the sidelines isn't the playing field. Why do you get to tell football players where they are allowed to express their views?

How very "logical" and "capitalist' of you, and astonishing as well that you fail to see the irony....

Of course everyone should want to pay for sub standard competitors (an inferior product), as long as they can rest assured that these, fine Americans share your speciifc brand of politics. Real Americans would pay top dollar for this right? Maybe Trump® ought to sign an executive order to the Big 10 to play right; damn liberal indoctrination, factories right? Congress damn well should regulate sports so only "patriots" can compete, cuz FREEDOM!!!!

That ought to make the fans jut wanna spend more huh? Maybe grant citezenships to refugees willing to volunteer in the hot Texas sun, on bulding parts of the wall too? Extend that offer in place of DACA too? Heee boy, 'murica luv on it er geet on out boyeee! Hooo dawg!

Maybe the can give citezenships for latinos willing to attend rallies (superspreader events) to help the Orange™ ego get strokes too? Get out the vote! Hot diggitiy dang; 12 more years right?

Amirite, or amirite or, amirite?


Maybe we can sell Puerto Rico because of the economic problems, and hurricaine issues, but just grant citizenship to all the great, talented, baseball players from there, as long as they will register as Trumpublicans™ too I suppose?

Please, kindly take your constant, unsupported, chock full of strawmen, bigoted, irrational, alt-right evangelical justice warrior fetid smelling daihrea dumps, you pass off as "points" you post, all over the rug at DP, and shove them somewhere, be, "creative" about where....:cool:

The audacity of thinking that ANYONE reading this posting sewage, you're always so kindly leaving all over our rug, is validation of the "logical" nature of it all, makes it patently obvious, why you so eagerly have embraced a flim flam artist like 45....

Hey, just so you have something to do, instead of the posting diarrhea, I have a couple, totally not racist, and constrructive, possibly lucrative, business ideas for you to occupy your time, cuz I am a nice guy like that....

The A1Logical Driving School for Asian Immigrants.

A1Logical How to be Black, but respectful so Police won't shoot you Academy.

A1 so you'll appear first in the yellow pages, that older people who like them, but of course, still totally don't need to postal service, to get them from will see it first of course. :coffeepap

LOL Golf...The world's most boring sport....if it is even a sport.

Well Trump® needs the excercise of getting in and out of the golfcart, at the taxpayer's expense, paid to his company, because he's about America first. The POTUS is the CiC, and therefore the #1 American, so that's very clearly putting America first. OANN reached out to Trump®, who is a really awesome golfer, and totally never cheats, about televizing the golf matches and golf cart driving exercise, the POTUS has the taxpayers paying him for, because it might replace the NFL and unpatriotic Big 10, but the problem is that he is always working and it's classified top secret stuff that goes on, would be a national security threat. This is also part of why he has to meet with Russians with no record of it, to keep our elections free, fair and secure.

Many former NFL fans have been asking Trump® to televize his AMAZING golf game for a long time, so it sucks about the national security thing, cuz it would easily bankrupt the NFL.

Opinions vary. It’s definitely a physical skill that requires extreme accuracy to be effective,and highly difficult to master even at a good amateur level.

Very few amateurs can shoot par even from the short tees.

Who cares about putting a little ball into a hole.
