The tides are finally turning. Turns out, it takes violent protest to make people realize maybe peaceful protesting isn't so bad.
Possibly.
I agree about the landscape. If people were offended last time around, they might as well forget about the NFL. It's going to be on a massive scale and players will likely be even more vocal.
I think the league has already proven that it doesn't matter anyway. The anti kneelers were basically celebrating their boycotts ending the league and making it go broke during the Kaepernick dust-up. The league looks pretty healthy to me from a financial standpoint, as does Nike after doubling down on the Kaepernick ad. The owners probably realize by now that people who get mad about protests aren't going to hurt their profit margins nearly as much as they like to think, and this time around, even more people support peaceful protests. The league probably stands to lose a lot more by cracking down on protests than allowing them right now.
If you want the "sons of bitches" as a certain individual once called them to just shut up and tackle, you're going to be getting used to life without pro football. That is unless of course you're a total hypocrite that just takes a position on social media and continues to watch when nobody's paying attention.
The league is a product that's as strong as any out there, and it will continue to rake in dollars regardless of what the anti-kneelers elect to do.
