Its all about placating the players imo. Its their reaction thats triggered all this, so it ends with throwing them crumbs.I don't know if you noticed, but a large number of the black players already didn't want any smoke with the NFL. The mentality of hunkering down, or worse, doing shyt like hiring a white conservative like Frank Luntz to help you plan your moves.
This isn't shutting Eric Reid up - look at how he's responded. It's not going to stop Kenny Stills from saying what he wants, and in truth, the league doesn't care what he thinks anyway.
This is just PR to make the NFL "safe" for white fans who don't want their favorite league's racism to be too overt. If no one noticed Kaepernick kneeling in the media, white people wouldn't care and the league wouldn't care. The NFL is a bunch of old white dudes who don't give a fukk about what their black players think or what the black fans think.
They do care that they can "prove" to white fans who are turned off by the NFL being overtly racist that they really do care about racial equality. They do care that they can give their rabid white fans talking points to use in order to shout down any dissenters on social media or in real life. This is performative shyt for other white people.
I'm not repeating myself again. Y'all can pretend that these rich white owners give even a little bit of a fukk what any black person, player or fan, thinks about anything if you want. I don't know why you want to cling to the idea that Goodell or his white supervisors give even a hundredth of a fukk about what a black person thinks, but go for it if you want.


I heard the same but he going hard
