    Pretty much all white people. Kinda reinforces my supposition he canceled the Eagles in part due to racism.

    Trump needs to pre-cancel the invitation for the 2018 NBA Champions:

    I think @Vegas82 is eluding that Trump might not be President by the time they get to the NBA Championship celebration. It is a fantasy, one that I share, but I think Trump will still be president.

    Would be amazing if things started moving that quickly.

    I am no J R Smith fan, but that’s always been on the coach. You have the moron of the NBA, JaVale McGee, running the court for some smart dunks. I think he was 6 for 6 in the game... because Kerr is a great coach. Smith is an idiot, but Tyron Lue is a sycophant. LeBron is the real coach of that team... and I think LaBron is an ass hole... I’m a Knicks fan, talking shit about other teams and players is all I have... I even miss John Starks, though he was a major prick...

    Regardless of the outcome, no NBA team would show up... actually, the Brooklyn Nets would... the team owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, is Trump’s ideal of a patriotic American. He’ll stand for the flag...

    Edit: In case people don’t know how good that joke was:

    Russia elections: Vladimir Putin suggests cabinet post for tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...Prokhorov.html
    After becoming the only liberal candidate in the elections following the disqualification of veteran liberal Grigory Yavlinsky, Prokhorov faced criticism that his participation in the race was a project cooked up in the Kremlin.

    Fox News trying to spin this as the Eagles Kneeling when none of them kneeled all season and instead where praying. Fox actually used christians kneeling in prayer against them. They are so into Trump they attacked Christians for praying. LOL

    I would ask if nothing was sacred for Fox, but then I remembered that they actually have. The Republican President/ Leader and the ability to keep deir gawns! But they take that to another unhealthy extreme.

    Good for him. Would have been better if he was in the front, but still good.

    I hope he doesn't plan on holding a rally in Philly unless he wants to eat some Duracells. Philly isn't known to take criticism of the birds with grace.

    I'm happy that the Eagles took the high road and didn't escalate it any further. Trump reacted with his typical belligerence that I don't think was as effective this time. At least to people who watch/read anything besides fox news.

    Yeah, but Trump stopped caring about what other people think a long time ago. The people that watch only fox news are his reason for doing everything. Other presidents pandered to their base sometimes, this President does nothing but. Trump loves people that love him, he doesn't have much use for anyone else.

    Trump has lived his entire life seeking the approval of others, and like any insecure man child, he doesn't give two shits about the people who actually like him and devotes all his energy reaching for validation from those who despise him. If the Hollywood set decided out of the blue that they'd start supporting him, he'd drop all of his current supporters in a heartbeat, because who wants to be seen with a bunch of fat rednecks and fundies anyway?

    I do agree with you, I probably badly phrased that. Trump doesn't place much value in anyone but himself, but he does desperately need validation and approval. He does crazy stuff like this because it makes his base love him more.

    That’s the fun part... none of these players kneeled during the anthem this year. But, a couple of people who attended Trump’s rally today, did kneel... oh and Trump tried to fake lip synch America the beautiful... people voted for this turn sandwitch.

    This has turned NFL forums from blaming NFL for the politics, to blaming Trump... about time, but better late than never.
