Impending Civil War in the NFL? Race, Money, or Both!!!

Not been a very pleasant few days since the Elliot ruling and the Charlottesville, VA Trump Klux Klan rally.

And as we all wait for White America to hear Hank sing "All My Honky Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" on September 11th -- yes, the first Monday Night Football games of the season are THAT night!!! -- it is becoming clear that the Kaepernick protests are gaining traction in light of the Piece of the Ultimate Shit President Oompa-Loompa the GrabEmInThePussy and his White Nationalist movement (which also struck Seattle over the weekend and may be making an inroad on San Francisco in the near future).

Some updates on that and other possible Civil Wars in the NFL...

• The NFL Player's Association and the NFL have been trading barbs on the Elliot decision.  It now appears that the August 29 appeal will be a victim-blaming session by the NFLPA, Jones, and Elliot.  The NFL, in a move that would appear antithetical to their hypocrisy and the absolute necessity of violence toward lessers on which football requires, has actually slammed the strategy in the media beforehand.
• It now appears that Richard Sherman is no longer the only person who believes there will be a work stoppage at some point at or before the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.  NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith told Sports Illustrated's MMQB blog in a video interview today that several issues, including the maximization of earning potential, will all but ensure a work stoppage after 2021.
• National Anthem protests are cropping up across the NFL, with the latest, as we start Week 2 of the preseason, in Philadelphia as Malcolm Jenkins has probably ended his NFL career by raising his fist to the Anthem before tonight's game.
• Other players pointed out during the preseason are Tennessee's DaQuan Jones (who already fears for his NFL future as a result!), Michael Bennett of the Seahawks (with Doug Baldwin about to join him), and Marshawn Lynch of Oakland.
• One who won't be joining in, and may be trying to cop favor from the league, is San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch, who is being a good little slavemaster and trying to whip his NFL charges into shape, calling the Anthem protests "divisive".
