The settlement is open for some to take and others don’t have to accept it and can continue their fight. I’m sure some will take the money but the more outspoken ones who have been leading the charge will not be accepting the pay out.
Edit- albeit much easier to walk away from 100k then it is to do so when it’s 60 million. But the point still stands. It’s a matter of principle and Kap also just got a 20 million dollar cheque from Nike as well. If your principles are taking a stand and not being afraid of the consequences what message does this now send?
