I actually agree with you. I knew him at LSU and Eric is a relatively quiet, intelligent, normal guy. Protesting is about bringing awareness to something that isn’t getting attention. Guess what? He and Colin DEFINITELY accomplished that
But just like anything in our culture, it was politicized and twisted to mean something it wasn’t. And he’s been demonized. The problem is we live in a reactionary culture that doesn’t know how to go deeper than one layer.
I know I know “go to the political board” well here’s a video to liven it up a bit...

I'd bet if you went and asked a group of random people what Eric Reid and Colin kaepernick were protesting by kneeling during the national anthem, more than half would say the national anthem/flag.
So you're sure they were successful in bringing awareness?

I had a mutual friend that grew up playing soccer with him and had a class with him. You are right.
Turned out to be a dumbass piece of shite though.
