I was, to put it mildly, astounded. I think the only way I would have been more shocked would be if NASCAR or the NRA came out in support of the protesters.
Edit. I'd be interested to see if Colin Kaepernick is brought back into the NFL. Personally I think that unless this happens the words are somewhat hollow.
I was also amazed by the actions of Michael Jordan who has, as I understand it, given $60 million of his own money and convinced Nike who he is obviously involved with to put a further $4o million into a fund to support organisations that campaign for racial equality that will be distributed over the next 1o years.

This is a hugely significant thing. I cannot emphasise this enough.
