I don't care anymore. I truly, deeply, and genuinely don't care anymore. I understand that disciplining silent and harmless social activism for no other reason than to retain close-minded idiots as consumers is inherently unAmerican, but if I invest even one more ounce of emotional welfare into this nauseatingly circular debate I'm going to grow to resent the NFL more than I already do. I, unfortunately much like hundreds of thousands of hypocrites that show their "respect" for the flag by emptying their bladder only to hop back on the beer line while it's still being serenaded, need my Sunday football. Therefore, an eye roll and the light pounding of my forehead against the nearest wall will be the extent of my backlash towards a rule change regarding something as mind-blowingly petty as showing the appropriate amount of reverence. That being said, if you look past the idea that the NFL thinks they can "fix" peaceful protesting, it's quite funny that 32 billionaires had a meeting of the minds and the best "solution" they could come up with compares favorably to a kid cleaning his room by barricading everything in his closet. Not exactly sure that braintrust is deserving of any good faith after they combined their white powers and all they came up with was a strategy that basically equates to "out of sight, out of mind", but what a fittingly stupid answer to what should have never been anything more than a rhetorical question. The NFL has decided to give curing a delicate racial and political divide a try by...sweeping it under the rug! Can't wait to hear the futile attempt to spin that into some sort of "compromise", because what's the players' issue if not that they want to stay out of the sun during the singing of the National Anthem?!?! Oh well, I'm sure everything will go smoothly. Nothing else to see here... — NFLPA (@NFLPA) May 23, 2018
