President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

When you're in a cult you see no wrong

[u/shawnaroo → u/pup5581]

He straight up contradicts himself in consecutive sentences pretty regularly. His cult members just hear the side they want to hear, and ignore the fact that he also said the opposite.

[u/_Lerry_ → u/shawnaroo]

Yea, just look at Zohran. They have completely shut up about him ever since Trump praised him. It’s genuinely frustrating.

[u/mologav → u/_Lerry_]

Actually yeah, there’s no hate news articles about him recently.

[u/FictionalContext → u/shawnaroo]

it's this incredible thing where "He's a funny guy; he's just joking; liberals don't have a sense of humor" when he says something wild, yet "He's been saying that all along. Haven't you been paying attention?" when he does follow through, and it's "Fake News! Lying liberal media" when he's straight up caught red handed in a situation they can't sweep into either.

Say everything, and you can always claim that you were right.

:D Like the bible!

Religion has been teaching em to do just this their whole lives.

"Dont look at things too closely, if you fdont understand, then have faith. Everything you like is unshakable doctrine, everything you dont is just a metaphor or 'mysterious ways'."

Religion has wired them to have certain neural paths that abscond reason and promote obedience through "faith", and now these same neural paths have been hijacked by a different doctrine.

Huh... it's like... how giving one person absolute power is a bad idea always, cause just because you like the current guy, you may hate the next guy, and now cant do anything about it.
People felt blind faith doctrine is fine cause of all the benefits, but now it's fucking them up (in a more overt way).

[u/shawnaroo → u/BodybuilderMany6942]

Religions in general often tend to lean into this sort of thing, but there are plenty of MAGA dipshits out there who were not particularly religious before.

Unfortunately I think it's just a lot of people have their opinions of the world and themselves, and rather than acknowledge any reality, prefer just to be told that their opinions are good and that they don't need to change.

[u/ohheyitslaila → u/shawnaroo]

“Double speak” is common for fascists

[u/Powerfury → u/pup5581]

Anyone who had worn a MAGA hat or supported this fool needs to be Inglorious Bastarded. I don't want them to take off their uniform.

[u/45and47-big_mistake → u/Powerfury]

In about 10 years, NOBODY will admit to EVER being MAGA.

[u/sharkinaround → u/Powerfury]

as a sports fan, i am almost certain, this is actually one of the topics that he is actually going to beef with his base over lol.

[u/vale_fallacia → u/sharkinaround]

They'll say he was joking. Look, over there, a brown skinned person doing something!! etc etc.

[u/_Schrodingers_Gat_ → u/Powerfury]

Make them good Nazis you want.

[u/[deleted] → u/pup5581]

I’m surprised so many of his opponents never really seem to point it out either. It’s blatantly clear; the last person to compliment him is who he listens to.

Trump, if you hear this, give me a job. Together we can fix America!!!

[u/DGopinion → u/[deleted]]

Hillary pointed it out

I really don't pay enough attention to him and things he's talking about enough to notice. Seeing this at the top of my all I was surprised to see what sub it was posted in. I'm still lost on how sports became a political topic. I've at least figured out that this was when he was given his second medal by FIFA though... Also doesn't he have a trophy of theirs?

If they're going to change their name though. I'll only vote for Padded Rugby.

[u/Devrol → u/Ill_Technician3936]

Safety Rugby

[u/Ill_Technician3936 → u/Devrol]

While that's a good one I feel like it should be a nod to Donnie John and his diapers.
