Maybe this is just what we need.

All players - white, black, and others - should agree to do one of two things. One, all stay in the locker room. Two, all kneel. Every team at every game. This would be a stupendous show of diversity, commitment, and camaraderie.

And if whites and others can't get behind that, then every African-American player should take one of those two actions. This would be a stupendous show of the racial divide in this country and could have some seriously adverse impacts on teams, teamwork, ownership/management. But so fucking what. Force those white billionaires to fess up to their racism and demonstrate their lip service, if even that, to diversity, etc.
