A top NFL safety backtracks and licks his self-inflicted wounds.
"Eric Reid is walking back his commitment to kneeling during the national anthem as a form of protest. Nearly two weeks into NFL free agency, Reid has encountered a barren market for his services despite being regarded as one of the best available safeties"
IMO there is no room for political activism in pro sports. The discerning customer is paying hard earned money to watch the athletes get the damn ball into the end zone, basket, goal, cup and over the fence.
Maybe Reed and Kapernick can start instructing children at the Boys & Girls Club during their hiatus from any paying gig in the NFL.
