“Screw ‘em all, let the NFL go down in flames.”

It may appear that Americans (heavily male in this particular case), normally will allow anything to be done by sports figures as long as those sports figures keep playing.
The activists and their managers/sponsors/handlers have most likely figured out the breaking-even ground for the American audience.
Those who attend or even watch the games on television have consciously made a decision: The love of sports is more than the love of the American Constitution and even the safety of their families.
Prior to 2020 excuses the sports loving American could make excuses and hedge bets. The events in 2020 have torn the curtain and the decision as to who they choose to love and honor cannot be hid.
Rambling on, I am. LOL
And on top of that the lockdown has made us realize that we really don’t miss it, anyway.
