The NFL has asked the Department of Homeland Security to take down a social media post that drew parallels between violent tackles in American football and the treatment of immigrants. The confrontation between the league and a federal agency has drawn attention across sports and political circles, touching on immigration policy and the league's public image.
Why now: The clash between a major sports league and a federal agency over immigration imagery is striking and politically charged.
