Dear NFL:

This is my money. Football is not worth my money.

Go away.

Sincerely,

Closed wallet.

Apparently not really. Just on pay day.

I didn’t know there was a Black National Anthem. Didn’t know about Juneteeth until last week. I’m just not woke. Wonder what’ next?

And do they have any money?
