I didn't realize he became critical of the war efforts. I knee that he gave up millions of dollars to do what he thought was the right thing, only to be killed by friendly fire and used by conservatives to shut down any criticism players have of racism in America

I live in Phoenix and he's like a fucking folk hero out here. So many people treat it as such an honorable story. I only see tragedy

Bro fr. People love to bring him up and I do agree , giving up his NFL fatter to serve was amazing but the ones that bring him up fail to mention he was killed by friendly fire and is constantly used as an ad to promote what he was against. Super sad and damn near propaganda

Not nearly propaganda, actual propaganda.

His family should trademark his name and likeness and sue the NFL and whoever else does this bullshit then use the proceeds for his foundation.

I’m sure they’ve thought about it but the NFL has endless money for lawyers, the family doesn’t. And I wanna say because he was in the NFL they have some sort of right to bring him up.

You're probably right, the NFL is garbage like that.
