Not sure how this works.

Just let me see if I get this.

Totally ignoring what the real message of the NFL players is when they took and may continue to take a knee, perhaps because it is a little uncomfortable to deal with or just hits little too close to home, many fans have jumped on the falsely assigned reason, the one assigned by someone not involved with the players and who also wants to avoid the actual issue,  and just really, really want it to be about who loves the country more, those who see how it could be greater, or those who feel good about the status quo because it is not negative for them.

They are showing that they are easily misled by appeals to emotion, no matter how wrong those appeals can be seen to be if even casually looked at.

But their lack of careful reasoning does not stop there.

They have decided that after spending a few hundred dollars on official NFL jerseys and close to two thousand on a season ticket, or just two hundred on one upcoming game, they will teach the league a lesson.

They will show the league that it has no right to protest anything for any reason by holding protests where they burn their shirts and tickets, singly or in groups.

They seem to forget that the league has their money, while they have neither the tickets nor the shirts, nor the money they paid for them with.

They are doubly poor.

They can’t get their money back because neither product was defective, but they, rather, took an action to destroy them.

Then later, if they feel the league listened to them by some action it takes, they will in all likelihood show their forgiveness by buying a new shirt and replacing lost tickets.

For the price of two jerseys, they will have one.

Not sure what the lesson is.
