We can't do it, so why can they (then again, we can't line our buddies up like bowling pins and act like we're knocking them all down when we right a bangin report, so there are obvious differences)? But there are still a few issues with that:

1) what do you do when the entire league, and even some of the owners, chose to take a knee together. How do you punish them and keep a product on the field?

2) It wasn't hitting them in the pocket books. You have to hit these guys in the pocket books and hit them HARD if you want them to change something. And what percentage of viewers/fans in attendance at games does it take to make anything change?

And here is the even bigger problem....

If owners, managers, coaches do decide to punish them, they'll be labeled as racist, blasted all over ESPN and the news, and possibly lose their jobs. Sad that this country has come to that.
