Not a surprise. A sexual harassing asshole like Manning would fit right in with Trump and his circle.

Lol, you thought fivehead sympathized with the kneelers?
Are any of you liberal voting people from conservative areas? While I am. To get along with people, you have to look beyond politics. If I didn't than life would suck. The thing is I love my city and do not want to move away. Natural beauty is more important to me than living in some liberal, ugly city.
This thread is supposed to be about football. Yet, many of you have made it about politics too much. This thread has been horrible because of it. The Kaepernick topic has it's own thread. Maybe you should post there more often about politics . This thread used to be more about fun., laughing and the game. Now it is not. It is a shame.

Blame your boy Trump.

When the President calls out football players and owners, and players and owners respond, it becomes a football issue. Sticking your head in the sand is no longer an option. We're way beyond that.

Don Jr. Pls
If the moron currently occupying the office of president had kept his fucking mouth shut (or just not been a racist piece of shit), tomorrow would be about football.
He's single handily dividing this country to push his agenda. Fuck him and everything he stands for.

Oh, piss off.
There are no games on, what else are we gonna talk about?
How can it not be the main topic when you have players and owners releasing statements every 30 mins?
If all you care about are the games, then just come back tomorrow.
On one side, the players may actually respect the anthem on the Eagles. If Lurie spoke to them and they still kneel tomorrow which is not disrespectful. I'm not sure how to feel about Lurie.
It still feels like Lurie is trying to play both sides. I just wish there was more of a direct contradiction of the President's statements. More anger. I feel like there should be more defiance to what the President said about Kaepernick and the very few Eagles players who demonstrate or have demonstrated on the sidelines.
Lurie seems to be in contact with Torrey Smith and Malcolm Jenkins, two of the leaders of the protest on the Eagles. But it still seems like Lurie is trying to be a moderate.
The Eagles are a team that always has military people and police at their games. It's like he is afraid this will alienate him and like the President, he's too focused on criticizing the motives or the action itself without realizing the kneeling sparked the conversation.
In the video from earlier in the week, Lurie, Goodell, and other Eagles players toured the PPD and different criminal justice non-profits in the Philadelphia area. Lurie intimated that he's just learning about this problems of incarceration and treatment of black people now. Which I find kind of hard to believe. He's a well-educated man who produced the documentary "The Inside Job." He knows social policy.
I feel he's too comfortable toeing the league line. His statement was basically in line what Goodell said. Most teams are hovering around that point, some have gone further. Some haven't said anything at all. In the end, Lurie seems too defensive, which makes me worry he's one of the guys who was rattled by Kaepernick and not understanding.
He wants social progress on his terms with his own set of priorities. His players must prove they can bring about change within his parameters of right and wrong. I think his restrictions on never rattling any cages and selling out anyone who steps out of line damning in a very subtle, easily deniable way.
I just feel kind of "okay, bleh" reading and hearing Lurie talk about this issue.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S A BIG TOPIC A LOT OF THE TEAMS ARE COMMENTING ON AND PUBLICLY ADDRESSING HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :increasingthinkingemoji
Also I thought you previously said "this thread's been horrible", in which case lol then get the fuck out of it, nobody's making you post here, especially if you clearly hate doing it
Thank you.
I think Lurie just doesn't want to make any enemies.
Just wait until Kraft puts out a statement threatening penalties for anyone who disrespects Honorary Team Captain and Super Bowl LI Champion Donald Trump.

Trump is a Pats fan like you so it's OK.
I hope the spectre of Hunter S. Thompson slaps you with his hairy spirit balls for suggesting politics and sports are mutually exclusive topics.
What is there to talk about in the football world right now besides these political statements? Any injury reports that we've missed or anything? I mean all the people in here could just go back to yammering about the Switch and other nonsense(as it pertains to this thread's main topic), would that be better?

I wish Al Davis was still around. He'd have no qualms about lighting up Trump over this
Let's talk about how Robert Kraft, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick gave Donald Trump a Super Bowl ring.
Now we talking.
