NFL player wallops Trump for attacking black athletes more than neo-Nazis marching in DC this weekend

President Donald Trump on Friday once again attacked NFL players who knelt during the national anthem to protest against police brutality during preseason games this week.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, however, called out the president for spending more of his time attacking black athletes protesting peacefully than the neo-Nazis that are planning to march in Washington D.C. this weekend.

Jordan continued to bash Trump in followup tweets — and went so far as to call the president a “goober.”

1. That was fabulous! I wish lots of them would do the same.

Those tweets this morning-“be happy and play”-reminded me of that character on MASH played by Henry Morgan before he became Potter. Addressing a black soldier he asked him to do something and ended it with “but first, a number!”

2. I remember that episode.

Husband and I are MAJOR “M*A*S*H” fans. “But first, a number!” That was one of a couple hundred great episodes.

10. I'd like to see more white players do this.

I hope they’ll be true allies to their brothers. This is not a time to be careful.

3. I'm not a football fan, but I like Cameron Jordan on his moral

stance with Trump.

4. Cameron Jordan for the SCORE, excellent tweets

6. One of the Good things About Louisiana

In addition to our Dukes, we have our Carvilles and Cameron Jordans.

And we don't shut up when we have something to say.

8. The Neo Nazis are part of Trump's base

he's not going to call them out

[duforsure]

9. He has no right to talk about it

And is playing the owners for fools. As long as they don't stand up against him , it'll continue, and get worse. The owners should stop playing it to make a point to him they will not allow him to politicize it and divide with anymore. Players should unite and continue as they want to do WITH the backing of their owners. As long as they bow down he'll keep demanding more.

11. Owners will slowly move over the course of time to

side with their players IMO. Their franchises are only worth billions cuz of the players, the game is forever, King tRumpy will come and go..... hopefully sooner than later.

C'mon meteorite, hit that douchebag.

20. Cardinals owner was on RW radio pushing Kavanaugh

He is far behind though he says players to restrict their statements only on game days but said his support of Kavanaugh isn't political since they played high school football together.

12. Good for him

Hopefully he doesn't get black balled by the league like eric reid or kaepernick.

13. NFL players should be careful not to play into Trump's hand

I think it was on Chris Hayes' show tonight that MSNBC showed an AP report that Trump has planned all along to re-start the "national anthem controversy" in the run up to the mid-terms because he thinks it will motive his base to vote.

NFL players/owners/supporters should be mindful of Trump's strategy when deciding whether to engage him.

15. Fuck that

They have a right to speak out.

As for the racist mother fuckers who support tRump, fuck them to hell.

Out vote them, knock them the fuck down, shit on their face and walk away.

FFS this is why liberals get the snowflake label. These people and tRump need to be called out. And when the media goes off on liberals for being mean, tough.

There is only one way to stop a bully, make them fear you.

When the middle of the roaders see liberals kicking ass then we will get back some of that rural vote.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. NFL players need a counter-strategy that's all

They can and should continue to speak out. They just can't let Trump drive their actions on his terms.

[JonLP24]

21. It is good to see you

Excellent post

[Wednesdays]

17. Double-edged sword

The controversy has the potential to motivate tRump haters to the polls, too.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. That's what Trump is counting on
