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.

I don't.

That said, empty virtue signaling by rich celebrities is pandemic. That these ball-carrying twats think their views are worthy of consideration tells you how toxic the phenomenon has become.

Nobody should listen to football players about anything.
