Yesterday marked the first week of an NFL season that looks more like a protest rally than it does a professional sport. The end zone of every stadium that saw live action was emblazoned with pearls of wisdom — “It Takes All Of Us,” “End Racism” — that would be right at home stuffed into fortune cookies.
