Finally, a fool proof solution! I suppose you could make the argument that everyone from Papa John to Mother Putin to Good Ol' Boy Goodell have already tried to threaten the most harmless act of social activism out of football, but the Dolphins are the first team to develop a wildly ambiguous system of discipline that matches the precedent (or lack thereof) of just about every penalty the NFL has ever levied down. One knee during the anthem gets you a 4-game suspension...orrrrr a $5 fine and a slap on the wrist if your happen to have even one single irreplaceable skill. After all, nothing shows how serious you are about instituting your fascist policy on behalf of those that care more about flags than fairness quite like preemptively hedging on it in case it lowers your chances of winning a football game! There's just noooo way this news isn't check and mate to such a polarizing issue. Problem solved, nothing else to see here! If the backlash to the backlash of seeing the First Amendment in action has taught us anything it's that the peaceful protests defffffinitely haven't become a rebellious response to the white and privileged trying to use their power to suppress free speech. Therefore, for this to continue, one or more of fifty-three predominantly black players who make a living in the diverse city of Miami would have to care about the prejudice of police brutality enough to call their owner's bluff. HA! It's a good thing that's not going to happen or they'd have to fall back on their last resort of blackballing a prominent player out of the league in trying to prove their pathetic point!
