Trump told Jerry Jones crapping on African American football players was working for him.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that President Trump told him that criticism of NFL players who protest during the national anthem is "a very winning, strong issue for me," according to a report by The Wall Street Journal that was published Wednesday morning.

"Tell everybody, you can't win this one," Trump told Jones, according to the report. "This one lifts me."

Jones recalled Trump's comments in a sworn deposition that was taken as part of Colin Kaepernick's grievance against NFL owners and obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

1. Fucking Fraud.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. He is a monster.

[CatMor]

3. trump the miscreant only does what is good for him...

doesn't matter to him what the consequences are to others. He loves giving it to the NFL for depriving him of owning a team.

[Initech]

4. This is a conspiracy to undermine the NFL.

The owners are in on it, Trump is in on it, and Fox News has the fans by the balls. WTF is going on here?

5. NFL New Plantation Owners

We've got a new talent of slaves to make us rich. Just like the good ole days when they worked for free, but nows we gotta pay em.

[underpants]

6. So they can't win it but it's good for him

So uh why would THEY go along with it?

[erronis]

10. I read somewhere (probably here) that pro team sports fans are generally RW

What a great marketing vector to his basest base!

(I bet tennis is not in the same league.)

12. If they go against Trump

then, he bashes the entire league for disrespecting the flag and our soldiers.

If they go along with Trump, it's a victory for Trump.

Either way, it gets his base either angry at "the blacks" and ready to vote or happy for a Trump victory over "the blacks" and excited to vote.

He knows that getting his base of Deplorables out to vote is key to holding the House and Senate. He doesn't care about Democrats and Independents and even the few reasonable Republicans.

[Freethinker65]

7. Is anyone surprised Trump was stupid enough to get caught admitting it?

Racism has worked for the GOP for decades.

[NewJeffCT]

13. It said it was a sworn statement in a deposition

related to the Kaepernick lawsuit

[SummerSnow]

8. Deliberately divisive, he wants the country divided

[duforsure]

9. And the owners

Then bowed down to do as he wanted , instead of doing what was right for their players. I won'y buy any NFL products , or watch their games for their actions. And will stop buying their sponsors products also. Trump did this for revenge, not for patriotism, or the flag.

[catbyte]

11. There's no word in the English language--or any language--to describe how vile that thing is.

14. I know this won't happen but,

I wish every single member and staff of all the teams would take a knee during the nation anthem. And that no one is fined.

If 45 still whines, the should all stay in the locker rooms.

If that doesn't shut them up then just stop playing the national anthem all together. There is no law that we play it at all. It's just tradition and 45 doesn't respect tradition let alone laws and the Constitution.

[ProudLib72]

15. I hate the NFL. nt
