Former NFL Player Herschel Walker Thinks Anthem-Kneelers Went Too Far

Herschel Walker, an NFL legend who formerly played for Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys, believes that the situation with kneeling and disrespect of the national anthem has gone too far.

Walker in a viral video, as TMZ reported, supported President Trump and attacked all the NFL players who disrespect the national anthem and flag, but also Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, who kept quiet about the protests.

“I think it means making a league-wide rule that if you want to protest, protest off the job,” Walker stated. “Where was everyone before the season started? I didn’t see anyone protesting in front of the White House, protesting in front of Congress or protesting in front of police officers. Why did we wait until football season to start this again? If you’re behind it, you have to be behind it all the way.”

“If you want to protest, protest off the job,” he said.

Walker admitted that he believes that America has a problem with racism, but protest the national anthem doesn’t solve that issue. In fact, he thinks that the finger should be pointed at President Trump.

“We can’t just point the finger at one person, and most of all you can’t point it at the president,” Walker advised.

He also advised Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, to do something and put an end to the protests of the national anthem.

“I think everyone needs to stand, everyone, needs to be respectful,” Walker stated. “The commissioner now needs to take control of this.”

It doesn’t matter that President Trump and Walker are friends. Walker played for New Jersey Generals in the USFL, a club that was owned by President back in 1980. This team against NFL in a spring football league.

Anyhow, his comments didn’t go unnoticed. The only thing this protest might change is probably the TV channel, as the audience will turn off the TV if the NFL is on it. NFL has various ways to show their disagreements and protest in a manner that doesn’t involve dishonor of national anthem and flag.

Obviously, a lot of people didn’t learn this lesson.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
