Of course he is!!!!!!!! NFL viewership went to hell over that, costing the league countless millions. ESPN took a major dive with giving the guy a major platform that pissed off the "deplorables" as well. Giantone pretty much nailed it! Colin used the BLM thing as a distraction that he was really playing poorly and tried to play upon sympathy for what he was doing. He miscalculated the people's response and got nailed. The NFL is a member of corporate America and will not stand one iota for its profits to plunge due to one person. ESPN is still reeling from trying to mix politics and sports. People watch sports as an escape from politics, and don't want that to be tainted by politics. The NFL has picked up on this, and won't let this happen again.
