And the fact that the NFL is siding with Ancient Orange is despicable beyond belief.

My niece didn't know what it meant, so I had to explain that it was about white police attacking African Americans, not Donald Dumpster wrapping his gigantic orange ass in the flag.

The NFL codifying his dog whistle racism is contemptible. Of course, most of these owners are white. And 70% of the players are black. What does that sound like?
