Looks like a packed stadium, so I guess these peaceful protests aren't upsetting anyone enough to stay away. Perhaps a few of Trump's ignorant base, but the vast majority of Americans, 84%, support their right to protest.

They only thing that was disrespectful and offensive last night, was just how terribly bad my Bears played.

Why they have allowed it has nothing to do with their support of their players First Amendment rights, but that's another story altogether. If only the fans knew how much the owners have given to Trump's political campaigns.
The owners made an error in judgement about how to handle this, but I agree that the owners are not doing this because they're worried about anyone's free speech rights.

You must really be pretty stupid to get sucked in by the red meat directed by Trump to GOP rednecks down in Alabama to distract from his myriad failures.
You're either woefully misincormed, obtuse, or just enjoy putting words in other people's mouth. I'm voting for all three.

As for your remark about how inappropriate it is for a Prez to tell business owners who to fire, I guess you've forgotten all about Rick Wagoner.

GM needed a change of management to make the risk of a govt loan possible, that is not equivalent to this politically motivated manufactured tempest in a teapot by the instigator in chief.

"Woefully misinformed and obtuse". That's a pretty damn accurate and concise description of every Trump supporter and apologist still sucking air, Mike.

A Trump apologist calling someone else "woefully misinformed and obtuse?" He's practicing the timeworn GOP tactic of projection. It's a tell-tale sign that he's got nothing (other than what Limbaugh said today on the radio).

Speaking of tactics, and having nothing, you're sticking to the playbook and not responding to the content of my post, and instead attempting to comment me. My comments about owners painting themselves into a corner on this issue, as well as pointing out your inconsistency,were spot on, so the above post was apparently the best you could do. Nice try.
