To say that his demonstrations were a distraction from the business of football, is a fact. To agree or disagree with the reasons behind his demonstrations is expressing a political point of view. At least that is how I view it.
So we can agree that the only way someone could consider him a "distraction" is if they are considering his political stance...nothing football related. And to claim that him being a distraction has nothing to do with politics is asinine.
But as I said his own teammates did not consider him a bad teammate. Now that doesn't mean other players with less exposure to him in the past would.
