Seems all along team lib was all concerned about Russian propaganda and its effect on the election while assuming that it was the right that was the morons falling for foreign ploys.
Turns out that was a big steaming pile. They were the dicks re tweeting and forwarding a majority of the bullshit.

Russia played both sides to prey on divisions currently in America (and it worked better than Putin could've ever hoped for). American MSM also preys on divisions in America for ratings. Other American institutions, now the NFL, also prey on divisions. Hell, Identity Politics is seemingly synonymous with the Dem platform.
A lot of useful idiots in this country. It's funny and sad to watch all at the same time.
Instead of shutting down free speech for law-abiding citizens on FB and Twitter to curtail Russian bot propaganda, ironically a move right out of former USSR/current Russian Federation, I'd rather a mirror be held up to the useful idiots' faces. If our citizens' feeble minds are so easily swayed by propaganda, maybe it would be better to find the cause instead of a totalitarian solution.

I followed all of this except your thought on the NFL (and other institutions) requiring divisions of the populace. Playing to the polarized divisions of the populace is what's dragging the NFL down. The NFL owners understood this and had hoped that the divisions could co-exist without the NFL actually taking a side. Unfortunately, many of the players belong in the 'useful idiots' category, and failed to understand the beer-drinking, flag-waving middle America demographic that makes up the majority of the NFL's fan base and kept pushing. And this put the NFL is a really poor spot of either supporting its fans or supporting its players.
I don't buy for one second that NFL management doesn't understand the majority of its fan base so I disagree with the notion they were put in a very poor spot. They capitulated with their tail between their legs to Leftist pressure and blue big city sentiment. They just didn't expect the blowback that they got. They chose poorly.
The reasons the players are using for their continued kneeling change almost as much as Hildebitch's reasons for losing.I don't buy for one second that NFL management doesn't understand the majority of its fan base so I disagree with the notion they were put in a very poor spot.

Goodell thought the Kaepernick antics would go away so he let them go notwithstanding they were an absolute violation of NFL rules. He was afraid to call him out fearing being called a racist. Now the worms are out of the can. His allowing these antics to continue while denying JJones from placing a sticker on the helmets to honor the 5 dead policemen was despicable. I hope they all go bankrupt.
The funny thing is Goodell has been despised by many NFL fans for a while now for his knack for playing judge, jury, and executioner with Bradygate, inconsistent application of league rules, etc. I would've expected nothing less from him with the Kaepernick issue. Chickens are coming home to roost.
