I ask a simple question and you respond with projection.  Alright, nice to know what I'm dealing with here.

Bolded: Again - what does that have to do with what anyone has said in this thread?  Yes, you believe that happened, but it's irrelevant.  How do you not see how this is doing exactly what you're critisizing the media of?  This is quintesential stawmanning because you don't like the point that was made here.

Accept I didnt spin anything. Trump attacks athletes for "disrpecting" the flag. In his mind not standing is disrpecting and wants them fired. I dont think they should be fired but I guess it sort of is disrpectful. But whatever it is your right to stand or sit. Again I dont care. Id just rather it not be everywhere. Its at home, work and now every damn channel. Anyways back to my point. Trump attacks athletes and calls them SOB's and that turns into a racial matter because 90% of the news likes to spin Trumps words. Trump brings his own hate but the news adds more and its not needed. 

 

What dont I like exactly? Am I not able to express my opinion on the flag and the matter that follows it?

 

EDIT: I do apologize for "projecting" to you. I could have explained my point much better in the first post. I thought I typed more than I did.

 

haha, you really think it is the media that is spinning this into a racial matter?? That's cute.

Have you not paid any attention at all to why these people are kneeling during the anthem? Let me fill you in: racism. Trump is attacking people, calling them SOBs (the president of the US calling people SOBs - let that just sink in for a moment, think about how low the presidency has sunk into the gutters this year), because some ball players feel they are standing up against racial inequality and oppression. To be clear: Trump is attacking people who are trying to stand up again racism, these people are basically all black people. It takes no spin the put this in the realm of racism on the part of Trump. Just print his words, as the media always does, and the wretchedness of Trump displays itself.
