People who think these players are protesting the anthem must also think Rosa Parks was protesting the bus/public transportation. I was making dinner and so didn't post all this in the initial message, but since you felt moved to boo me...here it is.

Bob Costas can go kick rocks. Joey T. is not alone in that they'd still play even knowing the risks. For a lot of disadvantaged kids football is looked at as a means to get out of the lifestyle they are brought up in, yeah they might not have known the risks of CTE but they know the injury risks and the toll it will take if they make it to the highest level.
