These men are tremendous football players, and no one can take that from them. Having said that, why do they think anyone really cares about their political views. Like their counterparts in Hollywood, they have an inflated opinion of themselves and their importance. Easy to do when you are paid millions to play a game. I wonder how eagerly their opinions would be sought out if they no longer could tackle or intercept a football? My guess is not at all.
They are of no value to me as a part of relaxation and enjoyment if they screw with my nation and make me angry.
I could care less about their talent. I just won’t watch.
Your comment about anyone caring about their opinions is true. Nobody would care if they were off the team. (didn’t have the talent to remain on it)
