Trump calls on NFL to suspend Raiders' Marshawn Lynch

[orangecrush]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump took to Twitter to criticize Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch early Monday morning.

After photographs surfaced showing Lynch standing during the Mexican national anthem and sitting during the US national anthem at a game against the New England Patriots in Mexico City on Sunday, Trump called for his suspension.
"Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down," he tweeted.

More distraction from the f'cking moron.

1. Lean to the left...

lean to the right
stand up
sit down
fight team fight.

6. For better or worse

Football is part of the American fabric.

Now it's all about Donald, just like everything else.

Article 25, please.

[Not Ruth]

2. Since Lynch is unlikely to be suspended, yes distraction

Lynch is a known sexual assaulter (a non issue in the NFL) so maybe Trump is hoping to get that going again,

3. The Fanboys never have enough of CrazyDonald.

Donald in the morning.
Donald in the evening.
Donald all day long.

4. Down but not that badly

Other reasons include:

no clear dominant teams. Many teams hovering near the .500 mark

Saturation on TV with Sunday afternoon, evening, Monday night and Thursday night too

[orangecrush]

9. All about Trump

Really.

[Initech]

5. Ok let's think about if a President Obama or Hillary had called for a private citizen to be fired.

The republicans would be burning that mother down, calling for investigation after investigation, raising hell on Fox News, and calling for impeachment and/or resignation.

Oh wait - a democratic president wouldn't do that.

[orangecrush]

12. I believe it is abuse of office

And its continuous nature should be considered in impeachment hearings.

[Cosmocat]

14. Except in their poisoned minds

What this asshole does is what they WANTED TO THINK BHO did ...

This is how fucked up this country is.

[spanone]

7. Fuck mr. trump.

[orangecrush]

10. The NFL

doesn't have enough to make me.

[smirkymonkey]

8. Doesn't this dipshit have anything better to do?

[orangecrush]

11. rhetorical question

Correct?

[Irish_Dem]

13. For the love of heaven, does this man have nothing better to do than manage football teams?

Unreal.

[orangecrush]

16. trying to politicize

and stir up more division in a widely watched sport.


This is right out of Putin's playbook, if you will.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yes, not about football, but about creating division and chaos.

Putin must be so proud of his apprentice.

[SummerSnow]

15. YOU ARE NOT HENRY THE 8TH,SIT DOWN AND STFU!!!!

[orangecrush]

17. Damn straight

[MFM008]

19. Treasure former

Seahawks player Lynch.
BEASTMODE.

[MoonRiver]

20. Who cares what that Human Garbage says.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Exactly!! Way to go Marshawn Lynch!! I support you!! #TakeAKnee

[MineralMan]

21. His choice. His action.

They were playing in Mexico City, so the Mexican national anthem was played. I guess the player has no beef against Mexico, so he stood for that anthem. Like many black men, though, he does have a legitimate beef about how the United States treats its African-American citizens, so he sat for our anthem.

Freedom of speech, Trump. Learn about it.

[orangecrush]

25. A President

Calling for the firing of a private citizen in a non political job for exercising their first amendment rights.

Turmoil and confusion, and America is reeling before the onslaught.

[MineralMan]

26. That's certainly his style.

Becoming President didn't make him any less of an asshole, clearly.

[MyOwnPeace]

36. MineralMan

You can "explain" it all you want (and quite eloquently, I might add) but IQ45 ain't ever gonna' understand it, let alone honor "freedom of speech!"

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. STFU or better yet, just keep going.....it shows the world how stupid you are PGIC.

[Wounded Bear]

23. Marshawn Lynch is a bit of an eccentric....

He lives his own life for the most part. Good luck with that one, Trump.

[Johonny]

24. Of course the Raiders' attendance is down, they announce they're moving before the season

You have to be a moron not to know why Raider games aren't a hot ticket.

[democratisphere]

27. No one gives a sh't what you think.

Wrap your hair around that!

[ProfessorGAC]

30. That's Not True

60% actively care to tell "it" that they disapprove of this nonsense. They care. They disagree.

[nolabear]

29. NOT MY MARSHAWN!

When Mr. Bear had a bypass it was the year of “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” and we in Seattle were obsessed with Marshawn. We laughed like crazy at him twitting the media and being Beastmode as hell. It really was sustaining and at my great age the beginning of my interest in a football team for the first time.


Marshawn is my BOO, even after he left to finish his career back home. 24 > 45!!

[Initech]

31. Does he even know what he's talking about? Attendance and ratings way down!

STFU Donnie!

[NastyRiffraff]

32. He ALWAYS mentions attendance and ratings

He's obsessed with them. It started with the inaugural crowd bullshit, followed by disparaging Schwarzenegger's Apprentice ratings, and continues without letup.

[spanone]

33. if you read the first amendment to trump he would call it fake news.....

fucktrump

[sarcasmo]

34. Racist going after another Black Man, sad.

[SummerSnow]

35. Mueller is now investigating if you obstructed justice , but you distract by going after athletes.

You don't get to change the narrative. The networks, except Fox are talking about Mueller, not Marshawn.

[orangecrush]

37. Good!

[oasis]

38. Trump embraces Putin and attacks America's intelligence community.

Suspend his sorry ass for the remainder of his term.

[orangecrush]

39. !!!

[Gothmog]

40. Who cares?
