I know people are tired of hearing about Kap, and I don’t blame you. However, I think there’s been an interesting transition on this topic.
He’s donating a million dollars to the issues for which he has been trying to bring awareness. He also met with a former Green Beret Nate Boyer. Boyer suggested he modify his protest, which he did, to taking a knee as a way to better show respect to the flag and continue his protest.
I think this all shows how much this guy truly cares. He’s passionate, thoughtful, and willing to talk about the issue. He’s trying to do something, unlike a lot of other athletes who are afraid to hurt their “brands”.
I’ve learned a lot reading and thinking about this topic over the last week. We need more people who are willing to talk about issues, listen, and work towards solutions instead of sweeping them under the rug as if they don’t exist.
