CNN has fake headlines about NFL

[Evmetro]

CNN headlines claim Trump is "demanding" that athletes get fired. I have searched the internet for his "demand", but can only find a question. Can one of you lefties here post the "demand" that CNN headlines claim?

"Demanding" just means insistent or authoritative.

He tweeted "fire or suspend!" basically as a command, and encouraged a boycott if the owners did not. It's a hairsplit to claim that isn't "demanding."

Wow CNN has fake news on its fake news channel. WHO KNEW????

demanding without authoritarian coercion..i.e. advocating

Kind of telling when one has to resort to semantics to defend the President, going to tell is next it's all about conjunctive verbs, that didn't work too good last time

And, of course, you can't refute anything I said.

Thanks, though, for the intelligent contribution.

All Trump and the GOP have are their semantic word games.

It's only fitting their minions be relegated to using the same deceptive tricks to make their points.

but he didn't demand right?

And where were you when Harry Reid was trying to get Rush Limbaugh kicked off of the air? Oh yeah, you were cheerleading.

Where were you when Obama was constantly bashing Fox News? Oh yeah, you were cheerleading.

Thanks for your faux concern

Speaking of hairsplitting, why does anyone care? Pfffffffft!

He dumbs them down as he insults them.

"I could stand on New York’s Fifth Avenue “and shoot somebody” and still not lose voters."

Even he knows his voters are brainless lemmings .. and he tells them that to their face .. and they still support him.

"Fire or Suspend!"

Sounds pretty demanding to me.

HEY NIMWIT, why don't you watch the video, and if you come away finding anywhere enclosed that he is demanding anyone do anything, then we truly will have to eliminate you from any legitimate conversation moving forward.
I am sorry but I just can't do stupid anymore.

Just like a 30% chance of winning was 0% chance of winning.

Trump can't demand anything of anyone. He has as much right to an opinion as anyone else. Do I wish Presidents didn't insert themselves into every fucking thing in society? Yes I do. However, you shouldn't do what you always do and conflate what he said into something it is not. Don't be a douche. Or maybe you can't help yourself?

The bolded is completely irrelevant to the discussion. But I realize it's all you & yours have these days.

What Trump said was a "demand." People don't have to comply w/ demands.

You lie. But then you are a lefty so you think EVERYONE has to have your interpretation of things. Here are the rules from the NFL on the National Anthem. How do you interpret them? Are the players complying with the rules?

The NFL rules on the National Anthem can be found on pages A62-63 of the NFLs game operations manual:

The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

No - players aren't complying w/ that rule. But that's the NFL's business.

And I'm not lying. Look up what "demand" means. Trump demanded.
