CoachB25 posted:I heard that an NFL player made a statement along the lines that the "double standard" was that the Cowboys wanted to honor the 5 Police Officers killed with a special sticker on their helmets but were told no and yet, this expression essentially is in favor of BLM and their stance against the police etc. Again, this is second hand so take it for what it is worth.
There's difference between an organization making an expression and an individual making an expression. However, the NFL might have been worried about what would happen if several players didn't want to be part of that expression. That would have become the story.
