I blasted Jerry Jones yesterday but after thinking about everything that has gone on this year, enough is enough.
This thing has taken on a life of its own that has distracted away from what Colin was trying to accomplish.
Listen to the entire interview but pay close attention to the 9:32 mark where Colin says he was willing to sacrifice his career if it came down to it and that he understood if players couldn't go that far depending on where they were at in life.
Most of these players are blindly following a gesture while ignoring the content. And people kept saying all off season why Colin wasn't speaking up for himself but ignored everything he said in that interview.
Colin made a personal choice for himself by kneeling. He's followed it up by doing a lot outside of football. He never wanted this to be about kneeling. He's donated money and funded camps in addition to other things outside of football, while players are simply kneeling just to kneel.
No change will come by kneeling. Colin knew that. He sparked a conversation and is following up on his beliefs outside of football the best way he can.
If players really cared, then they would donate and support his efforts outside of the NFL not by kneeling because all they have done is let the topic be hijacked by Donald Trump, and other cac's.
