NFL bans Cowboys fallen officer tribute
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/08/12...icers.html

Quote:The NFL denied the Dallas Cowboys’ request to wear a decal on their helmets during the season that would have paid tribute to the five police officers killed last month in an ambush.

The team had been wearing a decal with the words “Arm in Arm” since the first day of training camp this summer. Dallas police Chief David Brown and Mayor Mike Rawlings paid the team a visit on that day, according to Fox 4 News.

The NFL’s strict rules on uniforms forced the league to deny the Cowboys’ request to wear the decal for the upcoming season.[/b]

The NFL's ownership is very right wing. My guess is that the NFL doesn't want to open up to players demanding to wear patches for others.

I have no problem with the NFL honoring the police officers murdered in Dallas btw. There just might be more to it, and maybe not just the league siding with BLM. Maybe they're trying to cut off demands by players to support BLM.

Sounds like "shall not infringed". It's pretty simple really.
