Ray ain't lying. Shannon decided to switch up on a friend over the Kap protests.
Ray and Jim Brown were trying to resolve the protests and Ray came to the conclusion that the players who were protesting had no plan because they were following behind a controlled asset in Colin Kaepernick who on behalf of liberal entertainment industry was trying to destroy the NFL's bottom line in an attempt to attack the NFL, the goal was to corrupt the league into becoming a super liberal league like the NBA and the rest of entertainment industry 
Everyone now sits back and wonders why the NFL is pushing LGBT with all the cheerleading, it's because this is the agreement they made with the corporations that were promoted Kapernick and his protesting to get him and his followers in the NFL to stop.
Unfortunately, these young athletes didn't know the were just foot soldiers for the super liberal movement. Ray understood and tried to get them to stop by convincing them that NFL owners have nothing to do with Police Brutality and as bunch of white men it is not their responsibility to solve the issues in the community.
But that was not explanation that radical liberal like Shannon wanted to accept, so for the sake of social media clout he switched up on his freind.
