Yawn.
Only about 2 years too late...
The damage is done.
They had a small wound that they let turn gangrenous. Early on they could have suspended one guy and it would have stopped. A couple of guys would have grumbled but it would have stopped. But they let it play out for two years. Now these players have all embraced this as an enshrined constitutional right and any efforts to stop them are racist. There is no going back from this. They tried bribing them with hundreds of millions for social justice causes, they took that and said "cool, still protesting." Now they added a rule and they said "Racist. Still protesting". It's not going away.
Roger Goodell destroyed the NFL. And he got a fat contract extension for doing it.
