And he's out of a job because of it...and likely so toxic he may never catch on with a team again...
...which is further proof that he holds his convictions strongly and isn't just doing it for show, no?

If I protest at my work, I get fired and rightly so.
That's your boss' prerogative (generally). Of course. Just like NFL teams can choose to not touch him because the distraction isn't worth his value as a player. I'm not arguing against any of that

He wants to protest, get in front of a camera before or after the game and express yourself. I'll support that right all day long.
That's pretty much exactly what he's done. What am I missing here?

you're splitting hairs.
Once he puts on that uniform and gets on the field.....do your job.
I meant before or after the game....as in way before/after.
Like in the locker room or at a news conference, or at an organized protest....where his celebrity might lend credibility to the march and the cause.
You know as well as I, you can fight the cause behind the cameras.
I mean, he has the right to be a lightning rod for controversy if he wants...but he and the people that support him should not be surprised when there is subsequent backlash and criticism.
