Plenty of players do things when they're injured. I've saw Suggs promoting things while he's been injured.

Yes. It's a huge difference. It's a massive difference.
I know Shapiro as the **** that went after players that kneeled for the national anthem. He attacked Kaepernick relentlessly and his argument was stupid. He kept trying to point out how bad Kaepernick was as a player, which is tantamount to attacking a feminist for being ugly. It's irrelevant.
It's one thing to choose not to kneel. It is another thing entirely to buddy up to a guy that has attacked those that chose to kneel. NBA locker rooms are full of guys that chose to kneel.

No. I absolutely agree with this point. You can't just dismiss the ramifications of his actions though. It's not a good look for us. None of this occurs in a vacuum. Miami is South Beach and we are what? If we get the reputation as that organization, you might as well bring in the moving trucks, because we would be the antithesis of a destination organization.
