Yeah I dont understand the intent, maybe they just havent expressed their viewpoint yet.

Same with the Detroit Lions walkout yesterday.

Its a situation where I 100% support their message, but oppose their method.
Maybe Im just jaded, but I see NFL players who make very good to great money and their only primary job responsibility is a couple hours a day right now. To refuse to practice and complain about the issue is less impactful to me, than to come out after practice and give up your most valuable asset, your free time, to make your point.

Again maybe Im alone, it just felt weird to me. 'I feel so opposed to this horrific treatment I am going to refuse to work as a pro athlete' that doesnt sound like a message that is very empathetic and effective to most listeners.

Reminds me of the kids who are too sick to go to school bust just fine to practice after school.
