They erroneously think the fans are hopelessly addicted.

The players are still not saying what they want.

Sounds like they just want to protest without end.

Normally that’s a rivalry I would have planted myself in front of a TV with beer and chips to see.

Didn’t tune it in, don’t care. Screw the NFL.

Last month they were protesting the Bars & Stars of the Commonwealth of Virginia, now they protest the US Flag. When does it stop?
