"...so be it."

The best part is he considers himself some sort of martyr of grandeour. When in fact, he antagonized police, more than half the country, openly celebrated our nation's enemies... but somehow he's the victim.

We already know his "experiences". Mixed race kid, adopted into an upper-middle class home, excelled in athletics, GIVEN a top-notch education, afforded the opportunity to play a sport for a living (something many young boys and girls dream of doing), paid multi-millions, and then pissed it all away by being attacking the one patriotic event during a football game. Let's remember... he didn't stand to lose anything by his actions and didn't think he would. He chose to protest a song. He didn't protest his own playing time. He didn't refuse to take the field. He didn't refuse his paycheck. He chose to protest a song, knowing it would anger people. Yet, he's shocked when that anger combined with his sharp decline in on-field production resulted in his inability to be on an NFL roster.

What a tool.
