The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.

Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem -- which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest -- and was immediately black-balled.

If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.

    The players are unionized, and the NFLPA has a lot of strong black voices in leadership if I recall (at least as of the last time I looked into it)... But yeah I doubt they'll do anything unfortunately.
