With the National Football League poised to alienate a majority of its fans this season by going completely woke, its least-popular team owner can emerge as the man who saves the sport from itself.
Soon after New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees apologized for allegedly “insensitive” comments that he would “never agree with anybody disrespecting the (American) flag,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell waved a flag of surrender to the mob. “We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier,” he declared from his bunker.
While it’s unclear what might emerge from this Pandora’s huddle, it does seem likely to turn off many loyal fans.
