The NFL profits from abuse but loses capital from activism. Of course, the abuse is what solicits the activism, so they're in fact cause and effect.

Just a corporate entity trying have its cake and eat it too.

The abuse is only in the news, and typically buried; its not in the game. Activism is in the game. Since so many people watch sports to get away from politics, they will watch something else and the NFL loses money.

Are we really surprised this is the case when the players work for the richest, mostly white, Americans?

Are we surprised? Act like Epstein’s Kraft and you’re good.
