remoore:  You don't think the NFL and NCAA will just continue on if the fan base leaves?  The NFL feels the problem right now, they are in denial why it is happening.  These uber rich players that somehow succeeded in a racist country are protesting.

Don't you see the irony.  Their message should be one of hard work pays off and to the black community, you can succeed if you work hard.  America is not fundamentally a racist country.  We have have racist people, of all colors.  Bet you didn't know that Democrat President Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the government after Republican Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.  Or that more Republicans in Congress voted for the Civil Rights Act than did Democrats.  Facts for thought.
