I have NOT watched one minute of Baseball, Basketball, team sports this year. Only Golf. Was really looking forward to Pro Football, esp with Brady now in Tampa Bay. I even bought a Brady/Tampa Bay jersey. Was hoping that Goodell would stay out of the fray and pandering - NO! (anyone want the jersey?). Really not sure if I will watch NFL games now. Why must EVERYTHING be so POLITICAL???
(BTW, pls no political comments or Mods will delete...).

NFL teams will add symbols to their end zones and helmets this season as part of a leaguewide effort to make clear its commitment to social justice.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday that teams will stencil two phrases into the backs of their end zones —
“End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us” — this season. Additionally, he said players will be allowed to wear helmet decals
“bearing the names of the victims” of police violence and systemic racism.
