Maybe we should compare the NFL players to the black men who fought in wwii, sacrificed, and those fortunate enough to return home found they had fought for white people's freedom, not theirs. So then they had to fight a war at home to get those freedoms and were brutally attacked here both politically and physically. And today, the NFL players decide to speak for those who cannot be heard. Because the freedoms and equality not delivered, the one we fought for in WWII, are being put on display at a moment we cannot ignore.
