Trump complains that 'players are the boss' in the NFL

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sounds like he's still butt hurt about not being able to join the club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump is continuing to rail against football players who kneel during the National Anthem to protest racism and police brutality.

Trump asks his followers in a Black Friday tweet: "Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players."

He's accusing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell of having "lost control" of what he called a "hemorrhaging league" where "Players are the boss!"

Trump's tweet was in response to one from his social media chief, Dan Scavino.

Scavino had shared a Breitbart News story about New York Giants player Olivier Vernon taking the knee during the anthem on Thanksgiving ahead of a game against the Redskins.

1. No one's ever paid to watch an owner or commissioner

And the players and owners have a contract so no ones lost control of anything. In fact the NFL labor agreement is one of the most owner friendly in sports...

2. So super Racist Scavino keeps

the White Nationalist's lie alive once again.

4. конечно, of course

who'd expect a Russian troll like Trump to understand something as American as Football.

5. OMG, will this stupid controversy ever die?

6. Not if he can help it. He won't LET it die.

If railing against this churns up his braindead worshippers, he's gonna pick at the sore until it becomes more infected than it already is.

I halfway expect one of his own staff to punch him in the mouth one fine day. THAT person will deserve a pardon. And a medal.

7. They're the ones risking brain damage or career-ending injuries

They are the ones people want to watch. Owning a team consists of working out how much to pay them, and how to persuade cities to subsidize you.

If anyone should be in charge, it should be the players. Or a Green Bay Packers-style fan-owned team.

8. Problem is.......

it's coming down to a worker/management situation - and that tends to be something that leans towards the Pugs ("Hey, if we're making money - you're gonna' make money. TRUST ME!).
So, combine the "management/worker" issue with the racist slant from IQ45 - you've got a clear sight of where IQ45 is coming from.
