I knew the NFL would cave in, after making a big show of their so-called respect for player’s Personal expression.  Nothing is more political than the NFL, in a conservative direction of course.  Now we see what a charade their principled stance was, as they threaten the players with job loss if they refuse to accept the NFL’s empty definition of patriotism.  Don’t these black men know that their jobs are to put their bodies on the line for our entertainment, and to keep their mouths shut about the brutalizations that regularly occurs in their communities at the hands of police?
