It won't. No one cares.

That's actually the category I fall into. I support the players' right to self-expression, and I support the right of their employers to separate from them if they see that public conduct while representing the team as unacceptable.

It's fascinating to see that Trump's statement has had the exact opposite effect of what his words would suggest his intent was, and even more fascinating when you consider that maybe that's the reaction he was hoping for all along.

What's funny is, he's one of the most hated men in America and he just doesn't see it. He has such a high opinion of himself, he thinks others have to feel the same way. It's classic narcissism. He actually believes by speaking out, all Americans would rally around him. He's delusional. Maybe this display will bring him back down to Earth.

I suspect this display is exactly what he wanted. It further deepens the divide that he relies on to keep his base interested.

To quote an old friend of the franchise, "I wouldn't worry about that."

to see an NFL contract that says, "If the stadium is not 80% full, your pay for that week will be taken away." In fact, if such a thing had existed, the Jaguars would have had zero payroll expense from 2004-2010.

It's not a one season happening. It's a process. The mixture of politics and mommas not letting their kids play football and become vegetables are what is fast tracking the NFL on a spiral of doom.

70% of NFL players are black. Trust me, the vegetable thing is what will eventually kill the NFL.
