The NFL morphed into a political advocacy group so quickly I didn’t notice.

The owners - and by extension the commissioner - should tell the jackass players just what they are - football players. If they want to do reform and politics they are welcome to leave and go work at the NAACP, the SPLC, or for Sharpton’s National Action Network.

It’s entertaining, doesn’t cost a dime, no stadium traffic afterward, ignore the games & do something useful with your time, watch overpaid entitled thugs make fools of themselves on the news daring fans to boycott them, have a life outside of behemoth TV football, what’s not to like?

“Prison Reform” is simply a code term for “Emptying the Prisons”.

Hard to see why letting felons loose will result in anything different than the last time we had “Prison Reform”, in the 1960s, which was a bloodbath in our cities.

Which is why BLM supports it, the NFL now supports it, the Democrats support it, but, for the life of me, even some REPUBLICAN LEADERS support it.

NFL has vested interest in prison reform - they have an exceptionally high rate for person in their income group.
