- Here's another Hell Freezes Over: Jerry Jones, another MASSIVE supporter of Trump... Took the field Monday night and knelt with his team in solidarity!!
- Deadspin believes they accomplished nothing while doing so...
Seriously!
The simple act that one of Donald Trump's largest-scale Republican supporters went out with his team and knelt with them, when he previously was one of the loudest CRITICS of the National Anthem protests (up to and including saying any Cowboy who did would be gone!!!) cannot be overstated!
This fucking motherfucker racist pig in the White House has done the IMPOSSIBLE: He has given the NFL the HIGH ROAD!
- Gregg Popovich had some choice words for Trump, calling the United States an "embarrassment to the world". (Deadspin)
"I had no idea, that I lived in a country where people would actually say that sort of thing. I’m not totally naive, but I think these people have been enabled by an example that we’ve all been given. And you’ve seen it in Charlottesville and on and on and on. That’s not a surprise, get over it."The Warriors' rescinded from the White House:
"Well, I thought it was comical that it was rescinded, because they weren’t going anyway. It’s like a sixth-grader who’s gonna have a party in his backyard and he finds out somebody might not come so he disinvites him."
- WFAA in Dallas' Dale Hansen, a White Vietnam veteran, defended the protests in a commentary on his station. (Deadspin)
"The young, black athletes are not disrespecting America or the military by taking a knee during the anthem. They are respecting the best thing about America. It’s a dog whistle to the racists among us to say otherwise.
They, and all of us, should protest how black Americans are treated in this country. And if you don’t think white privilege is a fact, you don’t understand America."
- Bill Russell knelt in a picture he posted on Twitter on Monday, with his Presidential Medal of Freedom. (ESPN)
