After the murder of five police officers in Dallas, the Cowboys requested to honor their sacrifice with a ribbon on their uniforms. Request denied, this move would upset the liberal anarchists of the [[Black lives matter]] movement. Liberal causes such as the Planned Parenthood-aligned [[Komen]] breast cancer awareness campaign get special treatment; pink ribbons on the field, pink official penalty flags, pink socks worn by players.

Many liberals hold contempt for their country. Colin Kaepernick blames the USA for abuse of black people by police and decides to sit during the [[National Anthem]], wear socks at practice mocking police as pigs, creating a national firestorm.

Boycott the NFL would be a top trending hashtag on [[Twitter]]. Sponsors abandoned players that supported this act of disloyalty to the nation. Videos of people burning Kaepernick's jersey went viral. The police union considered boycotting their presence at stadiums. Instead of wielding their undue influence, like they do on a regular basis, and protect the image of the NFL by fining or suspending those players making the sport look bad, NFL management would issue a weak press release stating they don't agree with Kaepernick's position.
