Comment Up

There's a time and place for everything and this coach got it right.

The coach of Team USA for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey is standing by his vow to bench players who refuse to stand for the national anthem.

Coach John Tortorella said, “If any of my players sit on the bench for the National Anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game.”

I wonder what Coach would do if any of his players called America "stupid" or didn't think America was great. Or if they complimented Putin and went on Russian TV and said that Putin was a better leader than the sitting American president.

Well, what he would say, is that, that player doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, just play the game your were hired to play. He also would say that he has been sucked in by Hillary lies, progressive BS and too much MSNBC.

Well,I'm not a coach but the idea that our PRESIDENT allowed China to insult him (and by association the American people) by getting off of the BACK OF THE PLANE,makes me sick. Rosa Parks must be rolling over in her grave.

For the record, Obama never exited THE BACK OF THE PLANE...he exited the emergency exit in the front belly of the plane.

Let me guess...Breitbart? Drudge? Alex Jones?

Once you get to a certain age you become gullible rubes.

Oh, yeah. Rosa Parks. Great analogy. WOW. ALL CAPS.

Vote for Kremlin Don!

Glad you finally got the Rosa Parks thing. The President of the United States should NOT have allowed himself (and our country) to be so insulted by the Chinese.And it was MSNBC that reported the "back of the plane" incident.The Chinese are all about the art of the subtle. And that includes this not so subtle insult to our country.Back,front whatever, Obama should NOT have exited the plane.He should have ordered the plane to leave,called Congress back into session,and begun renegotiating our trade deal with China.
So Trump wants a better relationship with Russia than the Fuc$ed up mess he will inherit from Obama and Hillary? That's better than a bought and paid for President like Hillary who can and will be be blackmailed by every nation on Earth.
