It is like you were completely ignorant of the world before Trump, almost every year someone compares the NFL owners to slave owners. Sometimes it is a player, sometimes it is someone in the media.

Trumps sometimes has a hard time articulating

Trump has one thing right about the NFL: It gets too much taxpayer funding - The Washington Post

Quote:
And that stadium tax break ***8212; if it was what Trump was getting at (even his own press secretary seemed unclear which public money he was talking about) ***8212; is only the tip of the sports-subsidy iceberg. Even at $200 million a year, the public cost of tax-exempt bonds is dwarfed by the flood of cash flowing from state, county and city governments to sports teams. Here are some of the NFL***8217;s greatest stadium hits:

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank got $200 million in state money toward his team***8217;s new $1.6 billion stadium, then snuck in a clause that will net him ***8220;close to $700 million***8221; worth of additional tax money over the course of the next 30 years. If the team stays that long, that is: Blank abandoned his old stadium, the Georgia Dome, before it even turned 25.

When sales-tax revenue that was supposed to pay for a new Cincinnati Bengals stadium fell short, Hamilton County, Ohio, sold off a public hospital to make its payments. And taxpayers there may have more expenses in their future: A clause in the team***8217;s lease requires the public to provide for any upgrades that half of other NFL teams have, up to and including a holographic replay system.

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson not only got Louisiana taxpayers to spend $376 million to renovate the Superdome, he arranged to be paid an additional $18 million a year for deigning to allow his team to play football there. His team execs built a 13-foot-high statue of Benson for this, as they could well afford to do.

No they just run Football segments that elicit comparisons to slave auctions.

The tweet included video of a segment in which the auctioneer says, "Next on the auction block, we have Odell Beckham Jr."
The fast-paced pitch ends with the sale of the New York Giants wide receiver, who is black, for $34 to a white man the auctioneer calls "Shiny Top."
Really? This is your comparison?

I don't remember anyone saying they thought Trump was intelligent, do you?

Weird though that he trolled that and got the media in deep **** about fake news.

He is a great troll.

It is like talking to a rock.

NFL and slavery comparisons are not new, ESPN was not new to them prior to Wilbon's comments.

Also Wilbon is a commentator and not some corporate suit making the comparison.

yeah, trump did

over & over

that's not "getting trolled", it's a giant man-baby narcissist who thinks that if he says something enough times it'll magically become true

you really can't objectively tell the difference?

and the one thing in common with all of them?

they are ****ing idiots.

comparing a talented football player that got the opportunity to play with the big boys for millions of dollars to a slave on the plantation is about as stupid as you can get.
