Some of you sound like you've never watched football, or maybe sports, in your life. The whole reason that football teams run RPOs is to deceive the defence, if only for a fraction of a second, about where the ball is going. Offensive co-coordinators will use any device available to create deception, including misdirection, obscuring the ball, and yes, even using dark arm bands. Lamar Jackson is dark skinned, and the Ravens often wear black uniforms. It can be hard to see a dark object against a dark background especially travelling at speed. That's why hockey players use black tape on their sticks. It's also hard to see a light colored object against a light background. That's why Major League Baseball puts a dark tarp over seats in center field directly behind the pitcher's mound.
This comment by Tim Ryan was in no way derogatory. He doesn't "deserve" any punishment. However, the sports leagues and broadcasting networks don't really care about "right and wrong". They just care about revenue. If you can increase revenue by pandering to your most irrational fans, knowing that your more rational fans won't abandon you over it, then that's what you do. People need to accept that corporations are amoral. Stop looking for them to straighten out their lunatic fans or any media pimps who they think can influence their revenue.
