If I had to guess, I would think that it's any/all of the following:

1) NFL team ownership doesn't change hands very often
2) The Bills were cheap enough, as Trump is likely only worth 2-3bn in real money not "my brand!!!!" money
3) The Bills are a NY team

Probably some other poo poo. But going by my exceptionally limited understanding of NFL team ownership, the other owners went 'lmao no' and shut him out of the deal. It's not just about money, it's about having to deal with him regularly enough.

Giving Donnie way too much credit.

Owning a team is what rich winners do. Donnie wanted to be known as a rich winner, therefore buy team.

That's it... that's the beginning, middle and end of the "thought" process in its entirety.

Rather than do a megaupdate, recap of what I've seen so far:

- Mass protest in London, even the Jaguars owner (a pakistani-american) hit the field and locked arms with his team, as a ton of players kneed.

- Aaron Rodgers posted an Instagram picture of him and some players kneeling. Tom Brady responded with a muscle flex emoji.

- Rex Ryan pulled a I SUPPORTED TRUMP AND TRUMP IS FULL OF poo poo routine on ESPN.


Healthcare update: Ted Cruz just said that Graham-Cassidy doesn't have his vote yet and probably doesn't have Mike Lee's vote either. Collins saying she can't see a way she'd vote for it. Bill could barely pass, bill could lose by like 10 votes at this point.

A lot of people, maybe correctly, have noted that all this poo poo may help Trump's whole distract/divide thing and it will likely poll around 50/50.

What I didn't know is that civil rights-era protests at the time only had like 30-40% support at best, with people saying counter sit-ins and the March on Washington would actually hurt integration efforts.

Trump and your crazy uncle mad that athletes are disrespecting the flag? Hmm ok

"The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free."

No more tacky pre game salute are troops displays.

"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free."

Take off your hurrr MURICAN flag bandana and silkies- it's disrespectful (and played out)

"The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever."

You're fuckin out, Budweiser

"No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."

Sorry sports team, you don't get to support are troops with your uniforms either
