BOOM: Mike Rowe Destroys Everyone Involved in NFL Protests

Loading...

You know how it goes down with Mike Rowe. Rowe a popular, outspoken TV star made his name known worldwide when he found everyone off guard with his show "Filthy Jobs." 

He guarded working-class Americans on numerous occasions and he isn't reluctant to state his  opinion out loud.

Mike Rowe is using his popularity to defend traditional American values and he won't quit protecting them anytime soon. Every one of us, including Rowe likely heard about the controversy glooming the NFL. So the TV star had his own reaction to the sensitive circumstance. In his post, he tended to a cluster of issues identified with the national anthem protests and Donald Trump's comments about it. 

Rowe got triggered by a question coming from a fan named Robert Amon:  “Hey Mike – I know you avoid politics, (thanks!) and I remember your rant on the Colt’s leaving Baltimore. (As a former Brown’s fan, I feel your pain.) But I gotta ask – what’s happening to professional football, and what do you make of Trump’s comments about those who refuse to stand during the national anthem?”

Mike Rowe had the perfect response this Sunday:

“In democracies, we the people get the government we deserve. We also get the celebrities we deserve, the artists we deserve, and the athletes we deserve. Because ultimately, we the people get to decide who and what gets our attention, and who and what does not.”

He continued by saying: “I was disappointed last night, to hear President Trump encourage owners to fire players who refuse to stand for the anthem. Not because I dispute the owners right to do so, and not because I would grieve the dismissal of anyone who chooses to disrespect our flag. I was disappointed because the President’s comments presuppose that the owners are in charge of the game. They’re not. We are. We decide what to watch, and that decision – far more than any other consideration – will determine the what the owners choose to do.”

Rowe concluded his post by writing: “But here’s the thing, Rob. The fans of professional football are not powerless – we’re just not yet offended enough to turn the channel. Should that ever change in a meaningful way – if for instance, a percentage of football fans relative to those players who chose to kneel during today’s games chose to watch something else next Sunday – I can assure you…the matter would be resolved by Monday.”
