The Culture War Rages, but I Declare Neutrality

My decision to be the Switzerland of the NFL controversy isn't a claim of superiority. Kudos to those who mull this over and land squarely on one side or the other. But it seems to me that the issues embedded in the NFL flap are so numerous and variegated-race, patriotism, police brutality, leisure, the role of sports in everyday life, presidential power-as to make drawing easy conclusions almost impossible. Consideration and space are needed. Even Twitter's whopping new 280-character limit may not be enough.
