Putting aside how upset it makes me to see a bunch of athletes disrespect our flag in an effort to make a statement that is logically false - police disproportionately kill you men of color, this is probably the worst business decision I have seen in my lifetime. The commish is an idiot for not applying the same standard they have applied in the past to protest, statements, or even uniform variances.

The NFL is going to take a multi-billion dollar hit in the long run for their political correctness and at some point the owners are going to end the idiocy, but one wonders how damaged the brand will be in the long run. The networks are already feeling the pinch. Mixing politics into business is stupid.

The elites don’t get it because they are stuck in a bubble. It is a stark reminder of why Trump won, but they still do not understand it.

Since when is it correct in any form to hate your country because a person you didn’t agree with got elected? If that is how politics is, then let’s call it both un-American and Anti-American as well.
