Sean Payton was in the midst of making a point about something else Saturday after Day 2 of Broncos rookie minicamp when he noted one of the day’s clearest developments. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele, the seventh-round draft pick out of Utah, stood out during practice and not just because he’s 6-foot-4. “If you didn’t know, you would have said, ‘Man, Vele seems to have a pretty good rapport with Bo (Nix) today,’” Payton said.

When protesters block traffic, vandalize property, harass Jewish Americans, and chant slogans calling for the destruction of Israel, people stop listening. Those once open to persuasion harden their hearts not just to protesters but to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Bullying is not persuasive. The appearance of disorder and mayhem, moreover, strengthens the candidacy of former President Donald Trump.
