There’s been a great deal of controversy and drama coming out of the NFL lately. Ever since Colin Kaepernick started using his visibility as a football star to protest on behalf of Black Lives Matter by refusing to stand during the playing of the National Anthem prior to the start of each game.
The problem with a statement like that is, it has its visual effect long before the person doing it ever gets to explain. So, even if Kaepernick wasn’t just doing it to get headlines and virtue signal, and really believed there’s a problem with police violence in black neighborhoods then he made a bad decision based on the optics alone.
The stunt looks bad, it made a bad impression- and there’s reason to think his actual intent was misguided. But this is not a crime statistics piece.
Now all of the brouhaha that’s come out of this situation is fueling more accusations of various forms in teams and shows and backyards all over America. All of this is splayed across a backdrop of record low ratings for the NFL as more and more football fans begin to see the organization as being infiltrated by seditious left-wing ideologues.
It’s getting to the point where the drama and the rumors are more exciting than the actual games. Now, the wife of an NFL player says the Raiders offensive linemen purposely let their quarterback Derek Carr get injured because he opposed Kaepernick and others on his team kneeling for the National Anthem.
