What the NFL needs to do when the deplorables come crawling back.

The pea-brained deplorables who burned or canceled their season tickets will undoubtedly come slinking back to the NFL. American Football is, after all, their favorite mind-numbing opiate.

When they do, the NFL needs to greet them (and all their future customers) with a statement that they must sign as a condition for their purchase in which they condemn all forms of racism, police brutality, and discrimination against religious minorities and LGBT people.

This would probably be more of a symbolic victory than anything else, but at least it would serve notice on these people that they are expected to at least acknowledge a certain standard of public decency. After all, no normal or correct thinking person would ever object to signing such a statement.

those who can afford to pay for all that crap mostly support republicans over tax breaks and other fiscal issues. they don't really care about the anthem and who stands .
