Don't you realize punching women is so much more acceptable than protesting injustice?

Talent is more important than morals in this sport unfortunately. Ultimately he hurt the NFL's bottom line and riled up the majority of the NFL's fan base in favor of protesting for the minority. It was admirable at that time and could still be. 

Although sporting socks with pigs as cops and wearing a shirt sporting Fidel Castro (Also stated something like "great minds think a like") with Malcolm X on it in Miami didn't really help his cause further. Not a good business move or decision there. Most Cubans will tell you how awesome it was living in Castro's Cuba. . . 

At any rate. After the lawsuit. The settlement. The NIKE endorsement for being a non relevant athlete at that time and mostly just being a talking head with a political mouth piece up until recently. . . This is a really, really head scratching move in my opinion. And it should be heavily criticized and looked at by both parties. Those who favor him. And those who don't.
