You know, the NFL could solve this whole national anthem controversy pretty easily.
I get it’s been good for the NFL, with the Defense Department, which, according to a 2015 Senate oversight report had spent more than $10 million on marketing and advertising with pro sports teams — particularly NFL teams.
And I don’t blame the Defense Department for spending that money. If you are trying to win over the hearts and minds of young men — and women — you, like every other advertiser, want to do business with the NFL.
But it’s become clear now that the juice isn’t worth the squeezing anymore.
