The NFL is trying to pretend everything is normal and as it should be. The league recently released its schedule for 2011-2012, and starting Thursday it will hold the annual draft. Of course, the league needs to do these things. But there’s an implied message. Don’t worry. Everything is OK and we’re doing business as usual. Except everything isn’t OK and the league is not doing business as usual. When I go by the Raiders and Niners I see no players’ cars and I see no players.
