No one is losing money because of kneeling. Its actually very low risk because owners are not going to "fire" players over this. They are safe and know they are safe. I would support this if these players could demonstrate that in addition to kneeling they were also working in their communities or giving off-the- field time and effort with organizations and causes to help whatever they believe is a social issue. I am not seeing any of that. The reality is most of these players would not have the slightest clue.Help me with that. These guys are taking tremendous criticism for kneeling. They're risking their endorsements and their careers. That takes guts. The easy play is to stand. Choosing not to in the face of negative consequences takes courage.
That being said, there are thousands of people working in the trenches for social issues everyday outside of their own jobs and they are not making anything near what an NFL player makes. That I can respect.
