When he did speak on it, he didn't articulate it very well. People got mad, and offended. He then decided to kneel. Now I hear he won't kneel anymore. Stick to your guns man. He had to know it was gonna rub people wrong. Wavering only brings more derision from people who oppose it for whatever reason. It's already hard enough to go from flat bill hat and sneaker guy to Huey P. Newton over night too. I think very few take him seriously.

Looks like it won't really matter much, as he'll be able to do whichever he feels like, from the comfort of his own home.

Speaking of, I heard one of the weekend sports guys debating this topic with a guest recently.  They happened to mention that he turned down an offer for just under a million, to be on an NFL roster.  They went on to really break down why he hasn't been signed by any teams to compete for a starting job.  Those reasons being;  He is a "unique" athletic talent, and not necessarily a good QB.  Meaning that in order for him to have success, you have to design an offensive playbook around his strengths, you can't just plug him into most systems and expect him to excel.  They went on to say that with that in mind, only about 4-5 teams run offenses geared to his strengths, and they are comfortable with what they have at QB, and are unwilling to pay him what he wants to be the #2.  

Basically, they decided that the reason he was unsigned has more to do with him being a bad QB, than it does with his attention grabbing political protest.
