Prior generations may not have had every athlete speaking out, but it was far more common. I prefer when people use the stage they are given to promote a cause they believe in. I'd far prefer all citizens be more engaged in politics and social issues, regardless of what side of the issue they come down on.
athletes do not need to get involved on this sort of level
Would you condemn a player who, say, made a public gesture in support of our armed forces for "being political"?

I agree but on their own time. A teacher should tell their students their political views because it is not their job. Outside of said job is fine, but on the job.
