re: Eric Reid says that his protests are keeping him unsigned

He went against 32 owners to speak up for an entire race of people he thought were being treated unfairly

and he has every right to do so. At the same time those 32 owners, as well as the American people, have every right to disagree with his 'consensus', which as you have noted is impossible to come by.

That would be extremely unselfish in my book.

Unselfish in terms of courageousness absolutely. In other terms not quite. By kneeling for the flag what is he actually accomplishing, awareness? sure, but that's about it. In terms of monetary contributions, as most impoverished communities would acclaim money supported towards 'poor' people are the most supportive, his kneeling (reducing his funds) ultimately reduces the amount he as to ACTUALLY contribute towards impoverished communities. Therefore, him kneeling actually reduces his solution to solving the problem. How again is that not selfish?

As long as that camera is pointed at him or that microphone is on his face, that's his stage

Wrong again. The stage belongs more to advertisers than to anyone else. Do you even read?
