About those NFL owners

It was so great to see all those white billionaire NFL owners come together in support of free speech last weekend, was it not? Not a one of them could find Kap a spot on a roster somewhere for the past year, and then, Holy Thunderin' Jeezus, if they don't turn right around and come out for "freedom of speech?"

How did it become the norm to festoon every hockey game, football game, NASCAR race and so on with all this patriotic propaganda bullshit in the first place? What exactly is the point of singing the national anthem before every gathering of any kind?

Can't it just be a game?

Where did these patriotic rituals first infiltrate the world of sport?

I don't believe the impetus would have come from the players' side. They just wanna play ball.

No, the ownership class has politicised professional sport.
