I’ve tried to stay involved in a number of ways. In the past I’ve participated in local black lives matters rallies, including the infamous one in 2016 that resulted in 5 dead cops.

White (ish) dude here who had already been supporting the boycott on account of Kap. I think Trump confused the issue for the (admittedly few) dudes like me. Am I supposed to keep supporting the boycott now after Trump’s remarks or...?

What’s the status of the NFL boycott? We still doin that or...? Trump confused the issue for me.
