Republicans will lose 40+ seats in the House and quite possibly lose the Senate.

McConnell: GOP expects to lose Senate, House seats in midterms.

>>In a letter addressed to Hixson Ford of Alexandria, Sheriff Julian Whittington said "Ford vehicles have been greatly utilized within the law enforcement community" but his department "will no longer purchase Ford products as long as Ford sides with these who have no regard for the men and women who protect and serve this great nation." <<

What does football have to do with "regard for the men and women who serve this great nation," I ask?

Rich racist white men continue telling their slaves what to do.

Forcing someone to respect that shitty ass anthem.

I wish all the Black players would walk out then see what the fuck the league would do then.

How does it make you feel deep down inside to see that Trump has won the kneeling thing?

I don't get how this is about Trump or the midterm elections.

The NFL is a business, a big business. Having players kneeling was hurting their business. It was something they clearly wanted to deal with and come up with a solution.

What is their solution for police brutality, stop and frisk, discrimination and oppression against Blacks?

Yep, I like the solution.

The anti America kneeling thing was indeed hurting business, but it was mostly a political thing. Lefties took a beating on this like they are taking a beating on defending MS13 rapists and murderers.

Comply now, and then take the matter up in court if you don't like it.

Not surprising. You don't see much.

Goodell bent the knee to Trump. Trump brought this issue front and center last year. He crystallized it. He won. You hate when he wins because you hate America. You would rather have shitty things happen so you can feel justified in your hatred of Trump like all liberals do.

I thought it was black and brown people?

The NFL is a business and it is in the business of football. The NBA is a business and its in the business of basketball. MLB is a business and its in the business of baseball. etc.

You tell me what powers those leagues have to force what you want done. Do you think the NFL, NBA and MLB will shut down all sports in America until it is deemed there is no more oppression? In theory it could happen but highly unlikely those who spent a billion dollars or more to purchase a team are going to let their investments go to zero.

Can I offer some new kneepads? You think this wasn't a problem the NFL was trying to deal with before Trump spoke?

You know what the ultimate irony is here? Many on the right are Christians and Christians put God first in their life. For atheists on the left the state is number one. Your Trump worship makes you just another liberal. Any former principles you once held are now out the window. Trump is your highest power. "Oh no, someone isn't praising Trump - this can't be!"

So they can force them to stand up for the anthem, but not stand up against brutality?

I'll let you in on a secret. I don't work for the NFL. I don't play in the NFL. I had nothing to do with this.

The league in theory can do whatever it would like.

But you were quick to support the racist nfl owners. You should have just STFU!

If they can do what they want then they can support the reason for the kneel in the first place.

Had the U.S. Military (Government) not started paying the league as a marketing ploy to gen up recruiting for war purposes, this would of never happened.

What that same government needs to start doing is revoking the NFL tax breaks.

They need to start paying taxes if they want to stifle players 1st Amendment rights.

Rich Racist white men get away with everything.
