He said he wouldn’t be protesting “during the anthem”.
He also said he would find other ways....
He has chosen to use his platform as an nfl player for protests in the past and he doesn’t seem to understand a couple things when he does that...
1) the nfl is a BUSINESS. Businesses have sponsers and business relationships that provide the sport its income. When your actions detract from that, the business will replace you.
2) When you earn the privilege of being an NFL player, you are an EMPLOYEE of the NFL team that writes your paychecks. I’m in a leadership role with a massive company and if I used that platform to protest something that could hurt my companies interests, I’m sure I wouldn’t be someone they would rush to give increased pay to.
