Donald Trump Stirs Social Media by Saying He'll Stop Watching Sports Games Where Players Kneel During Anthem

These athletes are kneeling over 9 unarmed black people killed by police in 2019.. but they will not kneel over the 7000 blacks killed by other blacks in gun violence or the 380k black babies murdered in the womb ever years. It’s simple. Black lives don’t matter.. black votes do

Thats a part of history doofus. The Confederate flag is regarded mostly as an emblem of civil war & how far we've come. Only uneducated braindead liberals see it as something to cancel. Cant cancel our nations history hun. Would be nice if the @DNC achieved ANYTHING meaningful.

PROTESTING is a RIGHT

American citizens have the right to engage in peaceful protesting which includes kneeling during the National Anthem if they choose to. This demonization of those who engage in peaceful protesting is unpatriotic, unfair & a pathetic appeal to the far right.

Cross the @SFGiants off your list then.

You couldn’t care less about our national anthem, our Constitution, and certainly not American citizens. I will agree with one thing you said though: the game is over for you, on Nov 3rd

Which flag?

For us, your sick, twisted game has been over since January 20, 2016.

FAKE PATRIOTISM

Trump's #FakePatriotism is nauseating. He gives away American power to foreign leaders & in the next breath pretends to care about the National Anthem. The biggest sign of disrespect for the USA is when its president prioritizes Russia over the American people.

The flag represents that we live in a country where people should be able to take a knee and not be persecuted for it.

“If you don’t like how things are done here, you should leave”

Never kneel. Always respect the national anthem and stand.

@realDonaldTrump when YOU, as President of the UNITED States....STAND UP for ALL Americans...we'll stand for the the national anthem! Until then...✊🏽#BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/Q0aHiorAMs

Kneeling for the flag is free speech. Your talking points today have been pure crap. Why aren’t you focusing on uniting our country, encouraging people to wear a mask and practice social distancing.

I’m canceling sports that kneel.. I’m not going to participate in the disrespect of our Country and our Military EVER! pic.twitter.com/o9ho4pdN3f

I feel exactly the same. No more pro sports in this house if they are going to disrespect the flag. The men and women who gave all so that those overpaid self absorbed spoiled prima donnas could have free speech DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER..

Here’s what I do not understand. We have taken down monuments because they are offensive to some people but kneeling during the National Anthem, which is offensive to me as a veteran, as well as many other veterans, is acceptable? Protest during another time!

Sports was always the American past time, and now they have taken that away from us as well, inserting anti American political overtones into the game!

you just don't get it, and that's why your poll numbers are in free fall. America has evolved and your worldview is stuck in Mississippi in 1956. read the room, bro

How can we have freedom if the freedom of speech it is supposed to represent is undermined? How can you support civil liberties when you support the violation of one of our Republic's most important founding ideals, Freedom of Protest?
