The NFL players AND owners AND the league management have already crossed the Rubicon in my opinion. No going back regardless of what amends any of them try to make going forward.
I realize I am speaking only for myself. Probably most of the people who are upset about this will go back to business as usual as soon as the league stops this crap. I won’t and I believe anyone that does is wrong.
No change or apology coming from any of these parties will be sincere because of a changed heart. It will all be for the money. Just a bunch of whores telling their johns that they love them.
NFL management knows that they made a huge mistake. I think that what the NFL management a doing is circling the wagons and playing dumb. To admit to a mistake this huge would begin a wholesale housecleaning of management and it would take the leftists another 30 years to burrow back in.
