I think that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what they are protesting. If you actually listened to them you'd know it was about protesting on behalf of those who don't have that platform. You're free to still disagree with their ultimate point and that's fine, but at least try to listen and understand what they are actually saying vs what they arent.

You say this is what they are protesting

From the horses mouth this is actually what they are protesting

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder"

Michael Bennett literally just said that the situation with the cowboys and Jerry Jones reminded him of the Dred Scott case with the players being treated like property.
You can be delusional if you want, that's your prerogative.

That sounds good and all but what they are doing at this point is 100% about them and not the "ones without a voice". It's virtue signaling nothing more.

Michael Bennett is full of shite over what happened in LV, I could care less what he has to say. Tell me what he does to help those with out a voice? What has he given? How does buying a multi million dollar vacation home in Hawaii help "fight oppression"
As for Kap his original comments about police brutality are valid, there's an issue there but ultimately his rhetoric is counter productive. Which begs the question does he and other player "activists" really want to do something or do they just want "protest" i.e. Virtue signaling cause the awareness has been made, so take some action toward helping otherwise what's the point?
