Bronco talking about football being 5th. Gregg Popovich talking about politics. Even NFL players kneeling during the anthem doesn't bother me. I can still admire an athlete on my team even if we don't agree on every point. I don't believe that sports figures should keep their mouths shut.
The only time it in any way bothers me is if I feel like they're only saying what they're saying to boost themselves. I feel like Kaepernick originally did what he did for attention as his NFL career was winding down, but still that doesn't bother me as much as most people.
