The stage is set for a epic battle this weekend on the fields of the NFL. The battle just may not be what you would expect. Not two top shelf teams in a do or die game. Not a long standing record that is poised to fall.
It's the ongoing "Take A Knee" protest during the playing of the national anthem. Goodell has stated, "Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the national anthem," the statement read in part. "It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us." The player's are not having any of that. Some (not all) are prepared to push this protest to the bitter end.

Just what is that end? Fans give up and just get a finger stuck in their eye with is on going protest? Players find a new more productive way to draw attention to what they see as a problem? The NFL take back control of their league and stop having their brand tarnished by a few players who are hell bent on not backing down in public showing weakness.
The NFL is in one hell of a hole and they just keep digging. The players have the goose who laid the golden egg buy the neck and are squeezing. The sooner the NFL and the players realize that what they "want" is not the answer. It's what the fans want and expect. Loose sight of that and the NFL dies and the player's can stand on their head during the playing of the national anthem and no one will notice or care.
It's 4th and goal make the call.
