I'd wager none- NONE- of them are willing to walk away from their NFL careers to move to Canada for that CFL money- and that oppression-free life they apparently yearn for.

Eric Reid, Fournette, and Kaepernick.
These guys need to learn to appreciate what law enforcement and America allows for them.

Good for him. More people should do this and we can get rid of a song that celebrates the death of slaves.

None of you guys can even comprehend what African Americans deal with in this country.
As a black man who is a USMC vet I support them. I don't agree with it but I won't be online bitching about it and burning jerseys.

He's just another of these "look at me" people. Very disappointing. Sure - it's his right to protest, but if I signed his pay checks, I'd tell him I hired a football player and not a social justice warrior. And I would also tell him if the attention whoring didn't stop, he'd be getting a pink slip next.

Still not doing anything real. So who cares?

Was he a political activist on campus, too, or is this sort of activism new for Reid?
Leonard Fournette has made some statements (most recently during the Alton Sterling events), but he also took stances last year with the South Carolina flooding; I think he genuinely wants to be a role model, and attempts to do something visibly and constructively.
Tyrus Thomas (former LSU basketball player) was active with the Alton Sterling protests, but as a constructive and positive voice: he applauded the crowd for protesting non-violently and lawfully, then urged the crowd to go home and not destroy their own community.
Beyond this, I don't really recall any social activism on the part of any LSU athletes. People seemed pretty happy for the most part.
