Everyday there's a new story that combines at least two (and sometimes all) of the following: the NFL, the national anthem, players protesting, fan reactions, and owners/league brass trying to figure out how to respond to this while alienating as few customers as possible.

On Tuesday, a report that claimed NFL owners might create a new rule forcing players to stand for the anthem made headlines that caught the eye of Diddy, who then sent it out to his social media followers while revealing his dream just went from buying an NFL team to buying the entire league.

I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league!
A league where you can be yourself. Have a retirement plan.
Have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!! NEW DREAM ALERT!!!!
SELL ME THE NFL NOW!!!!

Great. He'll have to pinch some pennies or find some super wealthy investors (his net worth is $820 million, while the average team alone is said to be worth $2.3 billion) but it sounds like a plan.
