It was courageous of him to do that after signing that $125 million dollar contract.

But why stop with a mere hand on the shoulder gesture?

I suggest the players form into a human pyramid and dress up like the cast members of Hamilton to really support the struggle

Maybe Carr and Mack should follow the national anthem with this

The part bout racial unity is overblown but I was talking about the whole issue

A couple guys' feelings about the Country , the cops and the flag have nothing to do with the NFL or football in general......... the NFL should have nipped this in the bud last year....... it has only divided us even more

I'd agree on the topic in general. But the Raiders' gesture here is a good one. Good message to send to kids and an ice way to diffuse the topic afaic.
