Forget Kaepernick...some NBA player made the suggestion that the players should form their own league.
If that gets some momentum, then ALL the white owners will be forced to their knees. They may have the strings tied down good with the contracts, but if the blacks all walk out en mass...well, they're not going to let that happen.
We'll see how this thing all ends up. Everybody might settle down and there's tensionous detente...or, the black players will bring down the hurt to the max. I think the next 3 months will show us the lay of the land.
The white players being "on their side" might actually weaken their position. What a shitty mess, huh? They lost round 1 with the Kap thing...but now they're back for round 2 and they're pissed.
