I think a lot of the ‘problem’ lies in the fact that the players started something in regards to the cops being murderers etc and nothing was said.
Dallas wanted to honor 4 policeman who were assassinated and the league FINALLY stepped in and said they couldn’t.
Then K started his BS and no one - open & Officially - said a word against it which just emboldened the rest of the ‘copy cats’.
I think the owners & NFL (asshats they are for allowing it to get this far) figured they would step in with the ‘solidarity’ by linking arms etc.
I really don’t blame the QBs and RBs for ‘supporting’ their defenders BUT once out of hand they found it necessary to chastise the FANS — Yeah, the suckers that buy the overpriced stadium stuff, buy products with the players names on it etc....
These IDIOTS - collectively and especially the ones that stand out by name - Brady, Popovich, Rogers etal didn’t even try to differentiate between the ‘good fans’ and ‘bad fans’, they just attacked all of them.
Good luck.....
I still say that if people show up at the next game and buy nothing once inside - that will send a message to the owners..
OR better yet, the POLICE that the owners and teams supposedly ‘hate’ just didn’t show up for traffic control and security at the park
Would really be good for once the players ‘take a knee’ that the FANS all join in the National Anthem then turn around and file out of the stadium.
The then St Louis Rams players doing their hands up protest. The hands up narrative was a known lie .
