“Safety Pin” is an oxymoron when mixed with physical bodily sports. Too stupid to even accept his excuse.

Well I can’t take any action against the NFL as I’m already not watching any NFL games under any circumstances.

Maybe some others here need to do the same.

Chicken weasel.

Doesn’t have the gumption to admit his bend, instead using chicken weasel words to ‘explain’ his high-mindedness.

Such a putz. He stands up with a symbol on his shirt as if to make a stand and then in the face of one question he immediately backs off and denies he was doing it. He's weak AND a coward.

Alex Smith is famous for one thing:

He was replaced on the roster by one Colin Kaepernick.

Alex - that should be good for another 2-3% decline in TV ratings and revenue. I

n the meantime, I say FU.

The NFL owners are a quiet bunch who don’t like publicity or controversy - but they will crack down on all cheap political gestures before too long. They won’t have a choice.

>>Chiefs QB Alex Smith explains why he wore a safety pin

Because he’s a douchebag, like every other “protester” who is wearing their diaper pin.
