NFL asks DHS to remove post comparing tackles to immigrant treatment
Original: NFL asks DHS to take down post likening violent tackles to treatment of immigrants
The NFL has asked the Department of Homeland Security to take down a social media post that likened violent tackles in American football to the treatment of immigrants. The league objected to the department using footage of hard hits from its games to make a political point about immigration enforcement, prompting a public clash between the sport and the federal agency.
Why now: The unusual collision between America's most popular sports league and a federal agency over a political post has drawn wide attention.
