text: I am sure the NFL cares.  I stopped watching a few years ago when a game took 4 hours to complete.  This is a sixty minute game not a 240 minute game.  TV is destroying itself with so much advertising.  
  
  As for honoring the flag, the players are honoring the flag by opposing cops killing young black men.  When cops kill young black men they are not honoring the flag nor the country.
