The NFL has the power to fight this. They surrendered.
The league is already history, trust me. Fewer kids today aren't signing up for county or community football leagues, and that will translate into fewer high school and college football athletes as well. The NFL thinks by siding with the SJWs that they will appease the majority of football players who are black; however it is the white fans and taxpayers who buy the tickets, tailgate, go to the local and chain sport bars, pay for new stadiums, and even join the fantasy leagues that the NFL is profiting on, that gives the NFL their revenue. As the NFL disses the patriotic, military side, so goes these fans.
That's the end goal of the Left. Because the NFL does bring together people and promote civic and national pride, it has to be destroyed.
