I suppose they all still apply though, because A Letter to My Nephew would suffice as well.

I care.
A significant number of other people care, also.
The TV ratings were affected last year, and the League is
working policy on this, so obviously somebody cares.

It matters to the players doing it.
It matters to many of their customers.

I get that you have a lot of historical knowledge but how many people today have any ties to slavery, civil rights, lynchings, cop killings. It's almost nobody. There are some bad cops but get this; some of them are ALSO black as you well know. So what are we talking about then?

We are so racist we elected a black President. We are so racist we have black astronauts. I'm sorry dude but it just ain't reality. Yeah, racism exist but it has always existed and it will continue to exist. It's not even a crime to be a member of the KKK. They have a right to exist as hard is that is for you to acknowledge. I hate them but they do in fact have the right to exist. If they cause physical or financial harm to anyone though they will be held accountable.
