Rayvin 5127 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Taking the knee is usually bowing for a monarch or something isnt it? Like going down on one knee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like going down on one knee?  That's bending the knee, wecu means swearing allegiance, in GoT anyway.  "In American football, a quarterback kneel, also called taking a knee, genuflect offense, or victory formation occurs when the quarterback immediately kneels to the ground, ending the play on contact, after receiving the snap."  Whatever the fuck that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5127 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Â That makes as much sense as what Trump said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4256 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Some black players have been mimicing that gesture when the pre-match anthem is played in protest at police killings of blacks - that's what the stupid cunt is on about - for "sons of bitches" read "black bastards".

Kid Dynamite 6822 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 When a player is injured in a kids football game all of the other players on the pitch get down on one knee. It's weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4256 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm surprised people don't make more of his draft dodging whenever he plays the military/patriotism/flag card - I know paying a doctor was standard rich people behaviour but still ....

The hypocrisy with respect to Kerry was outrageous. Somehow just seems the norm in politics now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you "kneel down" or "take a knee", you touch the ball to the floor, which ends the play but keeps the clock going. It's a way of running down the clock, rather than trying to throw a pass which might go out of play (stopping the clock and thus letting the losing team have more time) or worse, being intercepted by the other team.  At any rate, it's being used now to protest during the national anthem at sporting events, we did a lesson on this last year with my middle school kids. A (white) baseball player did it last night too, which is the first time it's spread outside American football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6822 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Half of he teams playing tonight did it, as well as the bloke signing the national anthem. Trumps riposte? "Bad ratings". That's literally all he cares about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4256 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He was also whinging about the rule changes they've brought in to reduce brain injuries ("lower ratings" in his original speech) - he honestly wants to see more people injured to make the sport "better".

Howay 12496 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) I want to add a complaint about him to the pile. I work not far from one of his golf courses, there is also a small airport nearby (for corporate and private jets). The small airport exits onto the road I need to go on to get onto the motorway home, for 2 out of the last 4 Fridays Trump has decided to fly into this little fucking airport in suburban New Jersey to go play fucking golf at his stupid fucking golf course meaning the police have closed down the road I need to use to get to the motorway. So me and every other schmuck need to drive through Madison, NJ which is tiny and has only one lane each way so it tacks on at least 40 minutes onto my commute home on a Friday whenever he does it.  I’ve also been hearing he does this sort of crap at a lot of regional and minor airports which means they can’t take any flights for a long period of time, this loses them a large amount of business. Apparently some have even suggested they may not last his term if he carries this on. I know the plight of private/corporate jet airports is low on his list of offenses but it’s just further evidence of him being a selfish nob.  Meanwhile he’s decided to go on a one man crusade against NFL and NBA players rather than attempt to rectify any of the issues they’re trying to bring attention to. I saw a tweet by an NFL player that I thought was a corker on the topic, after him and many had told them to ‘stick to sports rather than politics’ he suggested that Trump stick to politics rather than meddle I sport.  Oh aye, I also expect now I’ve wrote this and mentioned the area in question he’ll have been notified of this and will be landing at the airport every fucking week. That’s how thin skinned and petty the bloke is, him and Ashley would be fast friends. Edited September 24, 2017 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34093 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thought exactly the same re: the protest, I.e. Rather than address the issue he's trying to make out the protesters are anti-American and insulting the military etc. An utter cunt playing to his utter cunt hardcore fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5127 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Will this even play to his base though? You'd have thought making them choose between sport and politics would be a risky move...

ewerk 29491 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 He has visited his golf courses at least 60 times since his inauguration. If he runs again in 2020 the Dems should just keep showing that footage of him attacking Obama for playing the odd round of golf. It's cost the tax payer $68m at this point. Being president seems to be something he tries to fit in between golf, twitter and watching Fox News. Â The comparison of his comments about the 'sons of bitches' in the NFL and the 'fine people' at Charlottesville says all you need to know about him. He's appealing to the lowest common denominator because it's so easy to do. The clips on twitter of rednecks burning their NFL shirts is hilarious mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15115 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think it's safe to assume his sport-loving base would love their sport even better if it didn't have no traitorous darkies in it. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it’s definitely an angle they should push. He’s costing me tax money and time the fucking whopper.  The worrying part of the Dems is Hillary is back doing all of the late night talk shows and making other appearances, it’s fairly transparent she’s gearing up for another attempt I just hope the Dems don’t push her like they have in the past especially as even when I agree with what she is saying about some of the shadier aspects of her loss to Trump it still comes across as whinging. Edited September 25, 2017 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2884 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017  https://factba.se/topics/howard-stern-interviews  I never gave Stern any of my attention so I missed these except for the odd excerpt that would surface.  This is a searchable database of Trump's interviews on his show dating back to 1993. Utter insanity.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
