According to their website, “the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE) is an unprecedented alliance of professional sports leagues, organizations, athletes, educators, media networks and sports professionals using sports to bring people together to promote understanding, respect and equality.

You do not promote understanding, respect and equality by denigrating a person's national symbol and heritage.

What is so hard to understand about that.

“What is so hard to understand about that.”

It’s very difficult to understand as long as it is presented with the effort to intentionally create the division. The football players don’t want understanding. That’s why they haven’t talked with anyone to try to improve the situation except for about three athletes that talked with minor politicians. They might as well have sent a letter off to the Kodak Camera Company.

Without meeting face to face, in a position of mutual respect, nothing will get fixed. And as long as people try to be different in appearance and actions, some violent, they will fear each other, not befriend.
