As Merle Haggard says in a song, "They love our milk and honey, but preach about another way of living...".
Funny thing, isn't it, that they can be "offended" but the other 99.9% can't. Their hypocrisy really stood out when they panicked over the police threatening to no longer provide security.

NFL players contribute time, money in wake of protests
"Of course, kneeling and “awareness” do nothing to change the status quo, so the correct next question is: what, besides kneeling, are players doing to improve their worlds? Below is a list, by team, of efforts NFL players are making in the wake of the protests to improve their own communities.
(Note: This list doesn’t include the many individual charitable efforts that were already in motion before the protest story flared up, nor does it include charitable work not directly related to the protests, like Houston’s Deshaun Watson giving his first game check to help Hurricane Harvey victims or two Redskins helping an underprivileged boy buy an xBox. But those efforts continue, too.)
