Robert Kraft Speaks Out On Trump Comments, JR declines to make a statement

[beastson]

Kraft, a well known Trump supporter. JR declining to comment, even just a bland basic ass comment is just not a good look.

This is so stupid, Trump is a Reaction to the disrespectful childlessness of Sports Athletes today.  The NFL needs to clean up its own disrespectful house, Trump is simply saying what much of the NFL fan base is thinking which is why he did it on a stump speech.

This is fixing to go to the tinder box real fast. . .

I watch sports to escape work and life. Last place politics should be in is sports and places of worship. Idgas if you stand, sit or curse this country. It is their 1A right but I do prefer a nonpolitized game and I know who not to interact with. TB this thread.

I couldn't care less about who comments on this. Why is there a need for every damn person to comment on this issue?

Americans are damn drama queens and live in a soapbox world. FB and Twitter platforms allow idiots of both sides to rage like hormonal teenagers.

How is kneeling disrespect? It is not as if they are being loud and obnoxious during the anthem. They are still kneeling and observing a moment of introspection, which is still respectful to the country and military. They are making peaceful statement for what they believe in while being respectful. I used to be on the other side of the argument, but there is no reason that these athletes should be attacked for what they are doing. Yes, they are rich athletes so I know there are comments like "they aren't underprivileged" or "they have nothing to be upset about", but they are not only being a voice for themselves but for others that aren't as privileged.

I hope every single player kneels today.

Yeah all those Alabamans waving confederate flags have a valid point on respecting the American flag.

If it's not alright to critisize a liberal President, the liberal agenda, why is it seen as alright to criticize Trump ?

If players had problems with a liberal President, it wouldn't be news. The players would be seen in the bad light, not a positive one

Dis Trump ? Oh you are a hero

[iamcline]

The same people that hated on The Golden Calf of Bristol for kneeling are applauding these people for kneeling.

Hating on JR for not releasing a statement is short-sighted and ignorant. If you care that much about how he feels then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

[Saca312]

To go on the topic, JR rarely speaks out on anything or gives his opinion, which is perfectly fine. He has every right to not publicize his opinion for the masses.

He hates drama and bringing that to the Carolinas. Of course he won’t be speaking out.
