    My understanding of the current protests isn't necessarily that they are signing onto his rantings, but that it is an, "I am Spartacus" move.

    Maybe it's Trump who doesn't like America. Why doesn't he fix it as promised?

    Well, yeah. And, so what does it mean?

    It’s now essentially an anti-Donald Trump statement, with Trump being on the side of the flag and the national anthem.

    The players who are just now joining in this protest look silly, and manipulated at this point.

    They think that Kaepernick is unemployed because he engaged in activism.

    A. That’s always been a bullshit claim. Dems constantly claim Republicans seen questioning their patriotism. When you look for actual examples of this, you don’t find any, but your do find examples of Democrats questioning the patriotism of Republicans.

    2. In the case of Kaepernick, it’s his own words and actions that draw the question.

    That’s a whole other protest, and linking arms with team owners while protesting such a thing would make no sense.

    There was a time in the world when "Goldberg" and "ham" didn't work so seamlessly in one sentence.

    Rove: Obama's flag pin comments will be an issue

    "That comment where he said, you know, 'After 9/11, I didn't wear a flag lapel pin because true patriotism consists of speaking out on the issues, not wearing a flag lapel pin?’ Well, to a lot of ordinary people, putting that flag lapel pin on is true patriotism. It's a statement of their patriotic love of the country. And for him to sit there and dismiss it as he did…" Rove added.
