The NFL had doubled down. They have decided that the only way forward is to pretend that police officers are murdering black men on account of their skin color. They decided that it was financially unsafe for them to have an honest conversation about race relations. They are now part of the system that is demoralizing young black boys and girls by telling them the lie that people in this country hate them and want to kill and enslave them for their skin color. Then, because the orthodoxy requires it, they glorify violent rapists and cop murderers.

This is a fight for the heart and soul of the country. We must have honest conversations about race and politics.
