NFL: White Owners vs. Black Players [View all]

So, the owners decide that players can't kneel during the Anthem. What will they do if black players ignore their decision, instead of saying, "Yassuh, Boss?"

Without the 70% of players who are people of color, there is no NFL. I think it may be time for the players to say, "Enough!"

That's what I think.
