Yes, he sat down and had a talk with some folks, apparently, and understood the way it could be taken by soldiers and their families.....kudos to him for acknowledging he could take a stand against the system, but keep people's feelings in mind.

I also saw where he was going to donate the proceeds from his jersey sales, and like a million dollars of his salary back into the community.  Now, I haven't seen any details as to what community and when, but if sincere (and why wouldn't he be), then this is the gesture I wanted to see from him, and his stance would not ring hollow.  If he follows through, good on him.
