It's been a mess.  

I have zero respect for anyone who injects politics into sports.

Every time they wave the flag, salute the troops, play the anthem, have a candidate in the booth...that's politics.

Harrison's statement?  Injecting politics.

Lynch sitting and being asked about it?  politics.

That's just the NFL.

It's also not the reason why the NFL lost viewership because we still watch and we talk politics every day.

I really don't mind when individual athletes make a statement though.  I may not agree but it's no different than you or me making a statement...they just have a camera on them.
