re: Statement From NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell

I could have mentioned countless family members and close friends who did serve

There it is, another signalling trope. It's the military version of "I have a black friend".

If you don't like the kneeling because you don't agree with the underlying BLM statement (which I also dislike) then just fricking say that. Don't bitch out.

Colin Kaepernick thinks there is a concerted effort by Law Enforcement Officers in this country to oppress black people. He thinks systemic racism against POC is an issue.

I disagree with him whole heartily.

That isn't difficult to say without bullshite signaling. Stop using the military as a political football to bludgeon opponents with.

Don't get me started on that statement. I have a ready made rant on why it's terrible.
