If memory serves me correctly he did not become socially conscious until after he was benched in favor of Gabbert. As I recall he sat on the bench during the Anthem with a pouty face looking at his feet. No mention of his cause to raise awareness prior to that. Again I remember no mention of it the week after that either. It wasn't until the following Sunday when he then knelt during the Anthem that he came out with "I'm kneeling to raise awareness about social injustice campaign". I didn't buy his weak response then and I don't buy it now. The only social injustice he was concerned about when this whole thing got started was he was benched in favor of a mediocre white guy.
