(17,235 posts)They never bothered to listen as to why the players, coaches, owners and fans are taking a knee. Instead, they want to act like supreme leader, Kim Jong drumpf.

(17,184 posts)Your link goes to an article entitled: Trump: 'I wasn't preoccupied with the NFL'
No mention of burning or season tickets on the page.
On edit: Sincere apologies. It was on the OTHER link.

(1,773 posts)The more these deplorables get their sore-laced asses kicked in the culture war, the more their tiny brains will need some form of escapism to help them cope with their own irrelevance and isolating ugliness. Unless cock fighting or tobaccy juice spitting contests become en vogue, the NFL will continue to be the favorite brain-numbing opiate for the rank and file, low IQ, lowbrow deplorable.

(16,875 posts)I'd wager most of them posted those tickets on the NFL Ticket Exchange prior to burning the tickets...they'll make bank off of their tickets and they can still look like morons!

(685 posts)BOSTON (CBS) Just one week after many members of the Patriots kneeled during the national anthem, a new report indicates that they will all stand together as a team next time out.
A league source told CSNNEs Gary Tanguay on Tuesday that all Patriots players will stand during the national anthem before next Sundays game against the Carolina Panthers at Gillette Stadium. Many stood and interlocked their arms during the anthem last Sunday before the game against the Texans, while a large portion kneeled.
So those who burned their tickets.. sorry ... fools

(7,021 posts)Why does anyone care what people do durring an anthem or pledge. If I chose to stand and remove my hat and the guy next to me sits and eats his nachos what difference does it make to me. Grow up everyone .
