        Remembered decades later for standing up for their beliefs? I’d say pretty well.

        Hardly. Wayne Collett and Vincent Matthews were banned from the Olympics FOR LIFE after they staged a similar protest at the 1972 games in Munich

        and that was as controversial, too; many reviled them decades later and many respected them, their story used to be so powerful.

        They were amateur athletes back then. They were not being paid millions of dollars and protesting against the hand that pays you. No comparison what so ever. Another bullshit story by another left wing news group.

        Smith and Carlos were fighting injustice. Kaepernick is just worshipping his own victimhood.
