A lot of the criticism of Eric Reid/ Kaep is showing me that people don't know how often employees file grievances with employers and continue working during and after settlements. A. Players use professional platform to protest a social problem. B. Employer ( the nfl )despite having no official rule prohibiting this action appear to get retribution through informal channels ( blackball and Disproportionate " random drug test") C. Players file grievances.
The argument I'm seeing is that people believe players who continue to pursue the rest of their professional career following this sequence are sellouts or insincere. My thing is 1. People file grievances and continue employment all the time.
2. millions of people everywhere have major beef with their jobs and stay because other options are limited.
If you're and NFL player, you have an ultra unique skillset, and you have a VERY short amount of time to capitalize on it. There is no other arena or opportunity in the world that comes close to rewarding you financially for what you can do than THAT league
