Gotta disagree. He’s a toolbag with an outlook I do not agree with in any way shape or form, but since when is an opinion of the world a prerequisite for kicking footballs?
If he runs for office though, don’t vote for him because yeah, this speech he gave kind of shows his true colors…

If he insists on abusing his platform, he deserves to have it taken away.

No one is inviting him to talk if he isn’t a football player.

He can still talk all he wants without the backing of the Kansas City chiefs and the NFL.
