I don't care if he misspoke, the family took what he said out of context, he said what he said.  It's not hard to believe he said it because he says stupid things on a daily basis now.  You all continue to give him a pass and he will continue to do the idiotic things he's doing day after day.

Players kneeling are people shoving their nonsense down our throat when all we want is football.
What Trump allegedly said here is not the same.

So one could be upset with one and not the other.

I don't get mad when people are accused of something to which there is no proof. And even still I tend to not care what people say when I deem it unintelligent.
Now... if someone comes knocking on my door, or shoving their face into my living room thru a TV, with some nonsensical political statement I didn't ask for... I might get a lil upset.

One is an invasion of my personal space with political "protests". (btw shouldn't they protest by, idk... refusing to play football until change is enacted? Maybe march in the streets together to bring about change... all these "look at me" protests do is create anarchy and destroy Sunday football)
The other is stupid talk in a political environment that is nothing but slander back and forth. Brought about by a bunch of politicians (Trump included) from both sides of the aisle that spend all day and night saying and doing things to further divide America.

Can't wait for the next POTUS to take office so it can be more of the same... It ain't gettin no better folks.

This is exactly the same.  Don't talk about Patriotism when it fits your argument about players taking a knee, and then when the president says something absolutely disgusting to a soldier that passed aways family say it was taken out of context or that this is all about politics.  If it was someone in your family you wouldn't see it that way.  People are absolute hypocrites when it comes to politics and each side wants to act like they are better than the other.
