We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. #InspireChangepic.twitter.com/ENWQP8A0sv

I think the subject they are speaking on is racial injustice as opposed to just police issues. [Reply]
So will Jerry Jones or any others that threatened it actually bench a "star" player if they kneel during the anthem or will the NFL just not have the players on the field for the anthem?
This could get interesting. No fans in the stadiums, no players on the field for the anthem. Yeah this is going to be fucked up one way or the other. [Reply]

Trayvon is very relevant to the conversation. [Reply]

Michael Brown is where they lost me too. I'd rather just have Chiefs players out of the spotlight on this one. [Reply]
