I see several differences....1 guy left football by his own choice when he arguably at the top of his game, I guy left football and for much less pay, I guy chose to stand for his country in a way that could risk his life....The other guy? He chose activism, he is still making great money, he was actually pushed out of his job, he tried to make a comeback but really used the chance just to speak on his activism....To make them identical save for 1 guy dying.....man to me that kinda makes his death kinda cheap IMO.....
If it's all about police brutality where does the flag kneeling come in? I never got that....there's nothing about the flag that deals with a (small) portion of police and their terrible actions....No problem at all in calling these guys out, none at all, just don't see what that has to do with the Country's flag.....
