I know some will say, 'just shut up and play' but these guys are human beings, who have a huge platform and may feel obligated to use it in whatever way they feel is best...even if not everyone agrees with them.
My personal take on it is that whatever they decide to do, it won't affect the actual game, so it's not going to get in the way of my entertainment at all. Whether they kneel, stay in the locker room or do nothing, I'll still be rooting hard as hell once the game starts.
I agree and add BECAUSE what they do is entertainment to us they have a responsibility to use their platform for positive change. So many people that say they should shut up and play are the first people to admonish a player for bad behavior because they are supposed to be “role models” to our kids. You can’t have it both ways
