What are the NFL protests about?

 I have some suggestions.
  •  If some players say this is about police, give each man a copy of the FBI Uniform Crime Reports.
  •  If some players say this is about the election, give each man a copy of the constitution and underline the part about the electoral college.
  •  If some players say this is about oppression, give each man a history of the civil rights movement since thousands shed blood in the 1860s, beginning with the formation of the KKK and Jim Crow laws (Democrat party), moving on to the desegregation of the schools and military, on to modern socio-economic statistics, and underscore poverty stats and single moms.
  • If some players say it's about voting rights, show them the black voter turn out in 2008 and 2012 with higher voting rates for blacks than whites.
  • If some think it's about income inequality, hand them a copy of their latest multi-million dollar contract to compare with their high school friends who didn't work as hard or get the scholarships to play in college.
