There is a non disclosure act regarding the settlement. He’s basically having to get off his soap box to take the money. That’s hush money.


Edit- I was (am?) a huge Kap fan. I’m not American so could truly care less about his kneeling or any of that didn’t rub me wrong at all. But this definitely kind of put me off a bit. You don’t play the victim card and go on basically a campaign of how your going to be the guy to take a stand. Even publicly speaking to the media saying how there’s lots of people who don’t want to address the issue because they are afraid to lose their jobs or endorsements and he said and I quote “those are things I’m prepared to handle”. So now you want to really stick it to the man and talk about how you were oppressed by the NFL shouldn’t your goal be to have them have to publicly admit that they kept you out of the league? Ecspecially when he’s just received a Nike endorsement that should of set him for life? By settling for this money and not having to have the league take any accountability for it and basically get to say it’s a dead issue now is a big red flag of where Kap really stands on what he supposedly believes in.
