Not a bad idea. The NFL rightsholders have decided (likely with some Shield nudging) to erase Deshaun Watson's past and reframe him as a comeback figure who we are supposed to root for. He's a piece of shit and everyone contributing to this whitewash should be ashamed of themselves.

Trump & ICE have done this to 25,000 people & counting. The government is abducting our neighbors and disappearing them to places with abhorrent human rights records. Often, they’re stranded there without money or identity papers. These aren’t deportations - they’re renditions.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

This is... troubling. SCOTUS is allowing the Trump administration to use an error-ridden tool that relies on inaccurate data. This tool has already led to false allegations of non-citizen voting. Now, it could "accidentally" remove legal voters from the rolls, causing real disenfranchisement.
