It’s the end of the world:
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday voiced concerns about President Trump’s comments on NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, saying Trump should not have the power to dictate who can kneel during the anthem.
“There’s a part of this story that’s starting to make me nervous, and it’s this: I am very uncomfortable with the president of the United States being able to dictate the behavior and power of anybody. That’s not where this should be coming from,” Limbaugh said on his show.
Limbaugh said he believed Trump’s motives were “pure,” but he argued that the president’s actions were unhelpful in the broader debate on players kneeling.
“Trump is continually tweeting — I know what he’s doing, and I understand why he’s doing it, and his motives are pure; don’t misunderstand. But I don’t think that it is useful or helpful for any employee anywhere to be forced to do something because the government says they must,” he continued.
Who does Trump think he’s fooling with his “football, apple pie and motherhood” routine vis-à-vis the NFL and taking a knee?
Trump has hated the NFL monopoly for decades.
In 1983 he bought the USFL’s New Jersey Generals for $9 million.
The league went bust a year later and Trump’s Generals were worth $1 dollar.
In 2000 Trump’s mentor Vince McMahon started the XFL. Trump invested millions in the project.
One year later the XFL was out of business and again Trump lost millions.
Trump blamed both league failures and his lost millions on the devious business practices of the NFL.
During his presidential campaign Trump purposely scheduled major rallies during NFL games in order to shrink the football audience.
Trump would like nothing better then to see the NFL and everyone associated with it thrown on a funeral pyre.
Trump could care less about the flag and patriotism. What he cares about is destroying the NFL.
