The problem is, somehow, it's gotten to the point where everyone is offended by everything. If we want to calm the waters, we, the fans, can help by not getting so offended by the players. Someone has to start somewhere. Why not us? Why don't we just say, "We don't care. We just want to watch football games." And then maybe we could start unwinding this culture of offense where every little thing escalates into a major crisis that threatens to severely damage the sport we love.

On the other hand, of course, I think it'd be great if the Texans' players walked out and refused to practice.
