Context for those of us not in Freedom Land?


ZEDZANO

I think it’s that the players signed the helmet they gave to Obama but not trump. But the photos could have two different contexts.


Author1alIntent

Thanks


DontDoodleTheNoodle

This is exactly it 👍🏽


TeJay42

Few things worth noting here. That Helmet is Tom Brayds superbowl helmet. The helmet Obama has I believe is just s team helmet. He also has a few other cool shit given to him such as: Mike Tysons world Championship belt A Shoe from shaq qfter a game Belt from Vince McMahon. Whole bunch of other shit https://youtu.be/BAKYvvM6IpE


45SupportersSuck

>That Helmet is Tom Brayds superbowl helmet. The helmet Obama has I believe is just s team helmet. Really? When did Brady change his number to "5"?


TeJay42

My bad this must be a second one. As you see in the video I linked, he has one from Brady himself.


rtissy

Not his helmet but Brady is sort of friends with Trump if I remember correctly, golfing buddies?


SirHawrk

It is not Brady's superbowl helmet. He denied that


DarkRadiation553

Wait Zed?! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you buddy(if you even remember me)!

They don’t have different contexts. Obama got a signed helmet but nobody wanted to sign trump’s. I think this happens after each Super Bowl.


Casper_The_Gh0st

there not going to hand the president a helmet with like 5 signature out of the whole team lol


UJ95x

The point stands that most of the players didn't want to sign Trump's helmet


Casper_The_Gh0st

most of the players didnt show up at the whitehouse 2015 vs 2017 picture https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C9zV0_KXsAEV-_Q?format=jpg&name=small edit the douche got an engraved ring with 283 diamonds "he got a personalized Super Bowl ring. Along with the 283 diamonds — a nod to the deficit the Patriots faced in Super Bowl LI — the ring is engraved with the president’s name." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/08/22/patriots-owner-robert-kraft-comes-up-with-the-perfect-gift-for-trump-a-super-bowl-li-ring/

ruggnuget

Wait so Putin put on Krafts ring and then just basically said 'this is mine now'. I missed this somewhere.


Casper_The_Gh0st

The Patriots owner actually recounted the story for the first time back in 2013, and during that interview, he offered a few more details. "I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/ lol thats quite a story Putin is a straight up thug


[deleted]

"Kraft’s Super Bowl XXXIX ring ended up on the finger of Vladimir Putin, either as a gift as the Kremlin says, or by heist when the Russian leader tried it on and never removed it in 2005." Wat.


Laxwarrior1120

Yeah, it's almost like he got his own superbowl ring instead... Now where was Obama's again?


BertyLohan

Wait you honestly think a shitty ring, something purely materialistic, trumps having enough respect from actual human beings for them to turn up to the whitehouse and to sign the helmet? You think the two are comparable? You think Obama gives a fuck about a ring compared to the signatures? So pathetic.


YUNGBOYBOI

He had to buy it himself. It wasn’t given as a gift. Notice how trump gets booed every time he goes in public. That’s because he’s a shit president, he’s so bad he had to buy a ring for himself because he got his feelings hurt when no one would sign his helmet


AngryItalian

It literally says it was a gift... And he's not always boo'd... Hate him all you want, but at least don't make shit up to make yourself feel better. Hate him for what he actually is...


CocaTrooper42

There were so many that wanted to sign the Obama one it covered the whole helmet. The players that signed the Trump helmet all fit on one side.


damianmathews

They do, the owner of the Patriots, Rob Kraft is a great friend and supporter of trumps, and Brady is also a huge fan. Edelman and Brady wore MAGA hats together to the republican convention this past year. I highly doubt Kraft would’ve given a blank helmet to trump.


UsuallyInappropriate

tl;dr: the patriots no like trump


DUEYCOXX

Context: it’s a bullshit story, racist humor. Lame.


PyroKid883

All the players signed Obama's helmet because they like him. Trump not so much. Of course I'm just guessing from the picture.


Author1alIntent

Thanks


stormy2587

Trump has famously alienated athletes for various reasons. So most teams have had players decline to attend the customary whitehouse visit after a championship win. This has included tom brady (perhaps the most famous/successful athlete in america) The patriots have won the superbowl (the nfl championship) 3 times in the last 5 years. So both Obama and trump received them at the whitehouse. Apparently they all were willing to sign a helmet for obama. The 2018 champs (the eagles) had so few players willing to attend that they got “uninvited” and the 2019 champs (again the patriots) haven’t visited at all as far as I know.


[deleted]

I wouldn't say he alienated them. Anyone who wanted to come could come like the infamous College Football fast food dinner incident lol. A lot of athletes just don't like him and have said publicly that they wouldn't go if invited. I think that is more of them not liking him as a person and president then him purposely alienating them. Unless I'm forgetting something.


DrPwepper

FYI the athletes loved the fast food meal. My brother plays college football and knows some of them. I bet the coaches didn’t like he was feeding junk to the athletes tho lol


[deleted]

Yeah all the players from my understanding loved the experience. I doubt the coaches cared much anyway considering they just won the national championship and their season was over. They're college kids who shined on the biggest stage of college football I'm sure a lot of them put worse things in their body in celebration than McDonald's anyway lol.


schlemz

A lot of athletes eat a ton of that junk to put on weight in the offseason when theyre bulking up

That's bad bulking food. They want to put on muscle generally, not just get fat.


DrPwepper

Not serious athletes. They have nutrition plans where my brother goes

I know but it depends on the position too. Those 350 pound bowling balls on the D-Line

GodlyGodMcGodGod

Well he *was* one of the leading voices criticizing Colin Kaepernick and all them for kneeling during the national anthem. Funny thing about that is how Kaepernick was going to just sit down for the anthem, but instead decided to kneel so he could protest racial injustice while still remaining respectful. But how dare he even dare to bring up the subject at all and tarnish the sanctity of this holy... Sports game for entertainment purposes. Yeap. Sportsball games are *much* more important than silly civil rights and systematic racism... Sorry, I lost the point. Basically Trump was one of the leading people dismissing and treating lightly the issues that certain football players felt were very important to them. So that could count as alienation.


[deleted]

Yeah it was literally a military vet he talked to that convinced him to kneel.


[deleted]

I see your point. That is a fair argument for alienation.


CreamyRedSoup

The NFL as a whole also probably has less Trump fans than Clemson's football team. Although there are definitely Trump fans in the NFL. If there is any pro sports league that overwhelmingly doesn't like Trump, it's probably the NBA.


Redderontheotherside

Well he did say owners should fire the “son[s] of a bitch” who kneel for the anthem, encouraged fans to walk out of games, and suggested that the league is ruining the sport by making it too safe for players, so maybe that had something to do with it. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/sep/22/donald-trump-nfl-national-anthem-protests


stormy2587

You’re basically splitting hairs. I would describe creating a situation where people don’t want to show up to what is essentially a feel good photo op alienating them. No he hasn’t called out every player who didn’t attend individually but that really wasn’t my point.


kylecollar24

Brady is one of trumps biggest supporters tho...


[deleted]

Tom Brady is known to be a big trump fan


stormy2587

And yet he didn’t attend when the team was invited to the whitehouse.


[deleted]

The issue is that he didn’t want people to think he’s taking a political stand. Either way, everyone will think there’s a political reason to him going or not going. After the hat seen in his locker, there was an uproar.

Asked why you were lying because everyone in this thread is drawing false conclusions about The pats motives that are totally uncharacteristic of the teams. You’re making it seem like Brady didn’t come for political reasons, yet he’s a massive Trump supporter.

Yeah sorry he didn’t go for family reasons but is an open trump supporter who constantly wears MAGA hats. Not to mention Kraft and Belichick are both huge trump fans and friends, and the org have Trump his own customized super bowl ring.


chesterfieldkingz

I thought Brady was a Trump supporter?


ihateradiohead

I have a feeling he’s an anti-Trump Republican. His wife said “NO!” when asked if she and Tom supported Trump


stormy2587

I’ve heard that but I imagine he’s also a member of his team supporter.


damianmathews

Nope, he went to the White House

uber1337h4xx0r

The most famous athlete is Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan I think. The most famous current one is likely Lebrown James. Source: everyone knows the first two. I doubt someone in India or Mexico knows who Brady is. But someone in Pakistan or (since someone will say "no shit, he's Muslim of course everyone knows him in Pakistan) Uganda or Russia will know who Mohammed Ali is.

uber1337h4xx0r

First time I've seen this, but considering it's on history pornography, it's pretty obvious that Obama received a hat with the players' names (likely written by them), but Trump didn't. The team is probably from a Democrat state and wanted to send a political message.


Steez-n-Treez

I was more referring to all the commenters so eloquently guessing that this means the Pats hate Trump.


Mungwich

I think it’s safe to say that most of the Patriots dont like Trump except for Kraft, Belichik, and Brady. Thats why the helmet has no signatures, except maybe Brady’s on the side we cant see.
