I'm not trying to troll here but I feel like this is just a PR gesture, isn't legal council and advice a slippery slope and besides, how is he going to 1n1 the thousands of individual unique cases from the rioters/protesters?

Edit: PR gesture was too strong of a term for what I was asking but I'm still leaving it. I mean to say, what effectively can Kap actually do here within his realms without getting in trouble himself.

When will people get off the PR bull shit with Kaep. Its been years and hes given hours and millions to the cause. What PR is he looking for? He just kneeled because he got benched! Well hes really committed to that if 4 years later hes paying legal fees for Americans just because he got benched.

I'm not arguing for any historical basis with the dude. I'm just saying, I've seen legal aids, lawyers and government workers all cringe/distance from what could be perceived as legal advice because of the connotation. I'm just curious what Kap can actually do to "give legal advice" here that isn't just some blogging or something, idk.

he didn't say he's going to be the one arguing for them in court. He's providing financial aid.

Didn't he sign like 100 million or something with Nike. Which is why he doesn't have to play football again

I mean before any of this he was a multi million dollar NFL player. Then he got that contract with Nike. I'm sure he invested wisely. He's actually from not too far from where i live and lived here at a point There was nothing super extravagant about where he lived from what i remember.

He has been. Your blissful ignorance to it and you choosing to pretend it wasnt happening because it didnt fit your narrative doesnt change that. Hes given millions to fund programs to help inner city youth, to help keep them out of gangs and off the streets. Hes given a bunch of his time volunteering himself to help local communities. He once gave out free suits to some individuals just getting out of jail to help give them a jump start with job interviews so they dont end up back in jail.

hes been doing this shit for years. Hes been doing this shit to prevent whats going on right now. But you guys only chose to notice after its too late because acknowledging that the problem existed before this week was too inconvenient.
