There is a solution, but it's somewhere in the middle where no one wants to go. Dallas did a great job. They protested as a team, owner included. Then they were able to stand and show  respect for those who are represented by the flag. Protest noted, respect for those who are represented by the flag noted. Game on and most people were happy. 

Now, if the Cowboys organization goes the next step and brings police, players, and communities together to work toward mutual understanding then all of this will have meant something. Until then, it's just more of the same back and forth that gets us nowhere.  

To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone become a Cowboys' fan, that would be ridiculous. I'm saying that even dingbat squirrels get an acorn every once in a while.
