.
The first assignment for the NFL’s new crisis communication manager is explaining the meaning of the word “abnegation” to the players and the direct relationship between behavior and their paycheck.

The NFL players’ vocation
Has been hurt by their strange abnegation
Of Anthem and Flag
To them, it’s a drag
To support and revere our great nation

We have a very great stately old nation
On which the Left practices abnegation
They scream racism
Creating a schism
Leaving all with a sense of trepidation.
