*The orange a-hole in the White House was really smelling himself Friday night as he addressed a raucous crowd in Alabama as he went on a tirade against certain NFL players and Colin Kaepernick, although he didn’t specifically say his name.
He suggested that the league fire players who chose to exercise their first amendment right to protest during the National Anthem.
Donald Trump made his comments at a fired up rally in Huntsville, Ala., on Friday night in support of incumbent Sen. Luther Strange in the runoff election.
But everyone knew who he referring to when he took an apparent shot at the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, saying:
“Luther and I and everyone in this arena tonight are unified by the same great American values. We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag.”
He continued with this:
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out, you’re fired!’”
Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the national anthem in protest of police brutality is said to be the reason he hasn’t been signed by an NFL team.
On the other hand, while Kaepernick was widely criticized by those who saw his actions as “un-American,” he also inspired many other athletes to do the same.
And guess who is back, expressing her first amendment rights in response to Trump’s rhetoric. That would be none other than ESPN’s Jemele Hill, who tweeted On Friday:
“Prediction: Not one NFL owner, not Roger Goodell will say one word about what [Trump] said about Kaep or other NFL players. Not. A. One.”

Keep in mind that Hill came under fire last week for tweets referring to Trump as a “white supremacist.” To be honest, we would have thought she would have refrained from commenting on #45 after the blowback she got last week, but obviously we don’t know Miss Hill. Strong sista. Props to ya.
Kaepernick also had the support of Minnesota Vikings running back Bishop Sankey, who tweeted:
“It’s a shame and disgrace when you have the President of the US calling citizens of the country sons of b——.”
Of course it was no surprise that Donald Trump Jr. pretty much seconded his daddy’s comments with this:
“Love this: @realDonaldTrump on NFL players disrespecting our flag/anthem: “get that son of a b—- off the field right now – YOU’RE FIRED!”
Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers in May 2017 and continues working as an activist while he remains unsigned.
