#28 Who are the Intellectual Dark Web? NFL bans kneeling; and Why do people lie about police interactions?

#28 The long-awaited return of The Podcast Without a Name. In our triumphant return from a two-month hiatus, we cover the Intellectual Dark Web, the NFL's kneeling ban, and the phenomenon of high profile people lying about police interactions.

Who are the "members" of the Intellectual Dark Web and why do they even exist. See: http://intellectualdark.website

Check out the piece that pushed these folks into the spotlight: https://nyti.ms/2HXUM6L

The NFL caused a shitstorm when they, seemingly out of nowhere, decided to ban kneeling. Are they really doing it for rating? Did they shoot themselves in the foot?

The NFL's ratings issues are more complex than national media would have you think. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/briangoff/2017/10/23/nfl-losing-viewers-at-alarming-rate-but-faces-limits-on-its-response/

Finally, we explore a behavior that police bodycams have revealed: People lie about police misconduct at what appears to be an alarmingly high rate. This could be undermining legitimate cases and push people away from these causes.
