Re: How Much Longer until the NFL no longer does the national anthem?
I think teams trying to make it a "unity" thing are unnecessarily complicating things. Let players do what they want -- stand, kneel, sit. But I feel like its my white privilege showing when I say "meh, I just want to watch football and not all this other social PC crap" when that "other social PC crap" is very important to a lot of Americans.
Certainly social injustice is more important than football, but do I value football over injustice to others? An injustice that maybe 5% of me can relate to. I feel like I say I care but in words only. The moment it messes with my football or requires more than passing token words ..... meh, idk.
Complicated stuff. Much too complicated to be rationally discussed in the confines of a football game.
