I live in the Dallas area. That the Dallas Cowboys, self styled as "America's Team", just took a knee with the owner is a pretty big deal.

Jerry Jones is one of the oligarchs--a big,big deal in the NFL and in American business. Regardless of what you think of him he has always been a strong supporter of all that is status quo. He is one of "them".

That he has gone against Trump because of Trump's attack on black athletes in the NFL and the NBA is revealing. Trump's actions have provoked a surprising backlash.

Again, I live here. I couldn't have predicted this.

Things are getting weirder every day.

I'm so tired of this shit.
