I don't see any evidence at all that "the movement" the NFL is supporting and telling us we must support without thought is about equality.

It's not even about protesting unjustified force by law enforcement. The Lanacaster riots demonstrate that very clearly.

You are dealing with people who have only one explanation for why things happen, and they trot that explanation out for everything. They do so despite any and all evidence to the contrary. Painting end zones to support "the movement" is not going to resolve anything because the movement is not seeking a resolution.

Imagine a time when people accomplish goals in spite of adversity. A time when character and innovation are built by overcoming obstacles.

If there were less energy spent imagining and more time developing a way.... just maybe some people might find more opportunity.

I’ll never understand people that shy away from effort and work.

NFL is skimming over their own rich heritage of racism. They just skipped all of that and pointed at recent police brutality of white police. Sad everyone is giving the NFL a free pass because they had a big part in sports systemic racism. It was one of the most racist sports of all time.
