It's just about inflaming his base and distracting from his most recent failures?
Uh, did you read the whole statement?

Well it's working. Isn't it?
He did have to delete a bunch of tweets so it looks like he didn't take the L in Alabama, so it's part of the effort.
Trump didn't create this issue. Lefties put the ball on the tee before he even became POTUS.
It's the political strategy of the left now. Pop said it himself people need to be made "uncomfortable". Which is the nice way of saying we need to piss off a whole bunch of people. Personally I don't see how that is supposed to get people on their side but that's the strategy. Maybe you can explain how it's supposed to work.
lol took an L...the pro Trump guy won
Kaepernick just did it to bring attention to an issue. i don't understand what all the fuss is about. Maybe you can explain why it's such a big deal.
Why does the NFL (or NBA) a private for profit enterprise play the national anthem before games, promote patriotism, have military tributes, soldier reunions, etc. etc. You know basically wrap themselves in the flag so to speak.
Have they been doing it for love of country or have they been doing it because it's a big deal so many potential customers?
Really? You think so.......hmmmmm
Because they're paid to......see that deal they have with the DOD?
Tradition more than anything, I'd say. The players weren't even out on the field in primetime til 2009 because it the networks wanted it that way. The further flag wrapping with flyovers and military tributes are paid for by the government.
You're not very smart huh?
Lingerie Football League Responds to NFL: ‘We Stand!’
You don't think doing these things for all these years have been an conscious effort to market their product?
Stay focused please......All Americans aren't being treated justly; even being killed by police! How does that sit with you?
but chicago
lol cuz kneeling to the anthem isn't a distraction from the message
The kneeling is why the message got attention. I do agree it's getting diluted now because of Trump.
No that's not true. The message was getting a ton of coverage prior to Kaepernick's kneeling stunt. Obama should have come out and said "Dude chill I got the entire Justice Department all over this."
Kaepernick changed the topic to kneeling.
Good thing it's still getting some attention without his being in the league and without Obama in office then.![]()
So it's good the message is being diluted. Okay.
You're playing for the wrong team Jose...Trump and people of his ilk are trying to toss your bean over the wall![]()
Divide and conquer. Most of you are clueless if you think all of this is about a race or color. This is about the top 1-10% vs everyone else--social class. They stick together by dividing everyone else. They get greater control while everyone else is arguing about race, flags, and anthems--and to all you cacs that support this garbage--these rich white elitist males wouldn't give you the crumbs that fall off their tables.
If it's bigger but diluted I'm not sure it's a bad thing.
Numbers haven't been released yet..
