        All athelets of good conscience should simply shut down the entire #NFL. #WeThePeople need to wake up and demand a more perfect union.

        Yes. In essence, the field slave AND the house negros (NFL athletes) need to realize that they outnumbered the slavers 10 to 1.

        This is the real America. Many people are just recently being introduced to it. The flag and the anthem are symbols w/out substance.

        if the league implements policy, and a player sues the league, the supreme court would decide if gov't pressured nfl. good luck proving it.

        Yeah... it would be super hard to prove that POTUS pressured NFL owners- we'd only have multiple videos of him doing it. Tough case indeed
