Traditions of black Christian church could solve NFL's anthem issue

Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia didn't want to talk about it. Neither did several of his players.

Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, just wants it all to go away.

One person who gleefully chimes in about the NFL and its anthem policy is President Trump, who suggested last week that a player who kneels during the anthem should be suspended.

Again.

Meanwhile, almost every week, a black face gets beaten. Or gets spit at. Or a black torso gets bruised. Or a black body crumples to the ground after a jolt from a stun gun, or a kick from the boot of a police officer.
