I’m pretty sure having their protest rendered completely anonymous by giving it no coverage or time isn’t actually what they want.

I’ve only actually seen the Greenbay arm linking. I never pay attention to the pre-game stuff, not when they didn’t show the anthem, and not when they do.

True, and that would have probably would have worked, had it been done at the outset. Simply don’t point the cameras at anyone acting up. It would have still spread by YouTube and other means, but people, I think, would have laughed at it.

But the cat’s out bag now, the media put it IN OUR FACES and now we (at least the vast majority of people here) look at the players completely different. It will be a long, hard, struggle for them to ever get us to only look at them as athletes again.
