About 11 years ago my late younger brother married a woman from Jamaica who had also been a SEAL TEAM support system staffer.
The NFL Commissioner and others made a concession to both sides.

I have some black friends too. This is getting to be a cliche'.
These players have been duped into thinking its all about racism, when the fact is that one player was getting benched and he used "racism" as a tool to keep his job. It did not work very well for him, and he has caused the NFL to lose a lot of money. I am sure he is laughing and now feels vindicated.
