Amendments

2nd-very important 

1st- the president will give you instructions or tell your boss to fire you or call your mother the b-word.

I have some sign language for him that involves the tallest finger

The President did NOT INSTRUCT any boss to fire anyone.  You are obviously talking about the NFL and the owners/commissioner made a business decision to stem the decline in the popularity( and loss of revenues which, I might add, are shared in by the players) of the sport which was NEVER intended to be a stage for political statements.

 

As for your second statement, congratulations on carefully adhering to the advice of Mr. Obama to be tolerant, civil, and respectful of others.

He said, "they should be fired", which is a suggestion to the owners, or the lady who is the current NFL Commissioner.  Jerry Jones obviously agrees.  One of the very few things Jones has gotten right as the owner, imo.

So did a good number of Americans. 

You may not have been listening, but they have been saying it for a while.  The NFL was not listening, either.  They tried to play off the falling ratings last year as being due to the presidential race when time and again Americans were making it known that they, not Donald Trump, were offended by the disrespect paid to our Nation's flag and the National Anthem by NFL players.

It is not as if the NFL listened to Trump.  When he first tweeted about the issue, many more players decided to take a knee or a seat.  And the NFL gave the players its full support.  The statement made by the NFL on Tuesday was made only because enough Americans turned off their TV sets, no longer bought tickets and no longer bought the merchandise that had long financed their enterprise.  Many want to paint this as a Trump victory, those that do are again not listening.

This "victory" has again been brought about by enough Amercian's finally saying "I have had enough!"  The same way that they did last November.  Yet, the left STILL does not listen.

For the bunch of enlightened and intelligent folks you paint yourselves to be, y'all don't listen too well.

What does this have to do with the 2nd Amendment?  There is no such thing as freedom of speech at work.  You can be fired for saying something negative or for saying something that your boss does not agree with, or for saying something that makes your business lose money.  Which is exactly what is happening.

 Now, if the nfl players want to take a knee on "their" time, that is ok.  When they are at home watching a game, take a knee.  When they hear the National Anthem played at a concert, take a knee.  This is their right.

Fire the SOBs. See, nothing happened. I have my rights.

Exactly right, if ticket sales and sponsorship in the NFL had gone up after Trump's tweets because folks disagreed with him, the NFL would never have moved an inch on this and would still be behind the players.

Money talks.

Tobie doesn't like this because it didn't support his narrative but he was in celebration mode when sponsors pulled their monies from the O'Reilly show.

Obviously you dont mind.  But why not offer an original thought every once in a while rather than the "party line"?
