My opinion: boycott the NFL. Don't watch or attend their games. When it hits the owners pocketbooks, they will put an end to this nonsense. It is definitely widening the racial gap. But what are they really protesting? One explanation I heard was police treatment of Black people. Someone said it was "social injustice" Do they even know what they are protesting? I felt bad for the one player who is a graduate of West Point and a veteran, who went out into the edge of the field to stand and put his hand over his heart. Apparently this was in violation of the teams decision to stay in the locker room and he was left apologizing. Shameful.
