The NFL's new anthem policy was not as unanimous as the league wants people to believe

quote [ When the NFL first announced its controversial new anthem policy, commissioner Roger Goodell claimed in a press conference that it was "unanimously adopted" by the NFL team owners.

However, ESPN reported that the league never took a formal vote on the new policy, and that, "Not taking an official tally is atypical for a major resolution." ]

This is mildly entertaining, as this has been making the rounds as a "unanimous vote by the owners" and it turns out that the NFL is in the midst of some serious backtracking and pulling of their collective feet out of their mouths.

Not informative. Not true,

I was most amused by the outraged notion that football players are drafted and traded “on their physical prowess”.

Who knew.

The post begins in parody, then moves on to falsehood

In reality, the average salary in the NFL is over two million dollars a year.. Not the half millions claimed in your post.

Top players make 20, or 30, million dollars a year.

The one percent.

For playing a game.

As the writer, in a singular case of getting the story right, puts it “this goes right at the core of what we’re facing in this country.”

Indeed, it is.
