Huckabee Wishes NFL Players 'Would Get on Both Knees and Thank God They Live' in the USA

With the NFL getting an early start this morning due to a game in London, all eyes were turned the league’s way to see how players would react to President Donald Trump’s attacks on NFL players protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. And as expected, a bunch of players knelt as the Star Spangled Banner played, while other players — and Jacksonville Jaguars’ owner Shad Khan — linked arms in solidarity.

Following this demonstration, we got a bevy of hot takes on the morning news shows. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee joined in on the action, making it known that he was not a fan of the protests.

“I wish that some of these players that get on one knee to protest this country and all the sacrifices that make it great would get on both knees and thank God that they live in the United States of American where they make over $2 million on average to play a game for heaven’s sake,” Huckabee told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who had already made her disdain for the protests known earlier this morning.

He then complained about how the left is only defending those attacking and disrespecting America and not those who pray for it on the playing field.

1. So now they are making it players vs. God?

Fuckabee

[DK504]

9. Of course he is, that's all the rubes understand.

If you aren't a robot/slave to them you are worthless and anti-American.

[SHRED]

2. Those "godless savages"...right Sarah?

How's your boss's bone spurs? I don't see him limping.

3. Gosh, that Mike Huckabee is so original.

This seems to be the talking point du jour for barely veiled racists against peaceful sports protest.

"Be grateful you brown men. For we bestow upon you riches because you jump and run well."

My god.

[Aristus]

4. I'd like to offer Huckabilly $2 million to risk traumatic brain injury.

But I can't think of anything he's done or said that would discount the possibility that he has already sustained one.

5. I wish fuckabee would STFU and sit down.

6. Praise skyfairy and its magic.

7. Go fuck yourself you fake Christian. God you are zit on the ass of humanity.

You are a porcine bag of pus, suckabee.

8. Harry Crew's wrote, in his novel "The Gospel Singer" ..

Pray in one hand, and shit in the other. See which hand fills up first.

[Vinca]

10. Are they allowed to thank their God or does it have to be Huckabee's God?

And, apparently, atheists are SOL again.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Most of them already do, Senor Huckster...

There are a LOT of players that are Christians, and share that in interviews all the time.

It's kind of sickening, really.

[HockeyMom]

12. What about MLB and NHL

both of which have many players who aren't US Citizens? They only live in America during their playing season. I guess god isn't shining down on them? I am going to bet that idiot Huckabee has never been to a NHL game where both the American and Canadian anthems are played. Oh, no, the disrespect to the USA!

13. Only in the USA .. the Huckster's $7+million beach house in Florida

Blue Mountain Beach
South Walton County
Florida Panhandle

[Control-Z]

17. Dang, that's one ugly house. eom

[Orrex]

14. I'd like to see Huckabee dropped anus-first on a goalpost, thank God.

15. Huckabee is a racist

What he's saying here is that blacks should be thankful that white people like him no longer get to own them.

This is going to get worse! You cannot treat people the way Cons are treating minorities. You cannot disrespect Americans like that. It's obvious Trump, Huckabee and most of the GOP do not think blacks are human. That much comes through clearly. What they mean is this, "you Ni****s should just be thankful that Masters like me let you out of your cages, and you better watch yourselves Ni****, because we still own you." That's exactly what Trump meant to convey to the white supremacy rally in AL and that's exactly what the racist Mike Huckabee is getting at.

Fuck these racists. Sorry if my translation offends anyone, but it's exactly what Trump and his Klan are trying to say without actually saying.

[Initech]

16. I swear the god they worship is a raging asshole with an egomaniacal complex.

Maybe that's why they like Trump?
