But, of course, Trump and his BFM (big f'ing mouth) don't help the situation either.

I think the owners will find out that their fans tend to be more
patriotic than some of their players. In a business where the talent
available exceeds the number of people they can have on a team, they
may send some of these guys down the road. This is still show business
and if you alienate your fans, you lose your job. At a certain point,
they can rationalize that they are saluting their fans, even if they
still have disdain for the country that allows them to make 7 and 8
figure salaries for playing a dumb game.


I think it is disdain for Trump.

You probably think Harvey, Irma and Maria were disdain for Trump too.
Everything that happens is disdain for Trump in your mind.

I do think it is ironic that a team called "The Patriots" can be so
unpatriotic. Perhaps they should change their name to the Whining
Snowflakes.


Patriotism means wanting your country and its institutions to do the
right thing. That would exclude the Trump administration's behavior on
most issues, and the loud-mouthed bully in the White House.


I was listening to a couple snowflakes on KGO radio as I was driving back
from Carmel. They were stating was anti-Trump. Hell to them everything
is Anti-Trump. Was thinking about the hundreds of millions wasted on
Russia, Russia, Russia. When the group who should go to jail for trying to
rig the election was the DNC
And Hillary. They were the major riggers. Stealing votes from Bernie,
etc..
