obviously I don't know the guy, but I'm assuming he knows this is much bigger than him, or the players, or professional sports in general.

This was just a significant gesture and a public political demonstration, which has value in and of itself IMO.

I think your questions are valid. Protest under state oppression is extremely complicated and *everything* is stacked against you.

But I think without question this took courage and is a constructive step in the middle of a much larger war.
