jason whitlock is a writer and partner at outcast.com.e used to host with the man you just saw on fox sports. happy to have them. thank you for coming on. you are an expert at expanding what that actually happening professional sports. what do think it's about and is it a good idea? >> i think it's really about a lack of leadership. the failure of men to stand up and stand on the principles that they say they believe in. so when i look at what the nfl is doing, this goes against every value that the nfl has built itself on, professional sports have built themselves on, celebration of americana and the ideals and values that best exemplify america. they have built themselves on unity and unifying the country. if the nfl starts out its season with everyone standing for "lift every voice and sing," the black national anthem, and then virtually everyone on the field taking any when "the star-spangled banner" plays, i think it's going to be, if you remember the show "happy days" they jumped the shark moment when we knew happy days was over. th
