1. FYI: Kneeling is immoral, unpatriotic & risks losing your job! But molesting children is not!

3. Excellent! nt

4. Some pretty low standards there.

They couldn't find a "citizen" who cared enough to vote?

5. I agree with you.

And he thought Hillary and 45 were equal morally.

Yuck.

7. THANK YOU!!! Such a lame decision by GQ; trying to stay relevant.

I forgot about that until you Brought it up. Didn't even care to vote.
Believe me, he's one of those who is now simply out for himself and a dollar.

8. I understand dismissing the individual to better trivialize the movement.

I certainly understand dismissing the individual to better trivialize the movement. It seems a most efficient way to cower behind implication.

Believe me... part deux.

9. He's the best 'citizen' GQ could find?

Like him or not,
like the movement or not,
it's a slap in the face to a lot of great people.

How about Jimmy Carter and "Habitat for Humanity"?

How about Bill Gates, who has given $50 billion to charities?

14. +1000. Could be a long list, too.

10. Great to see. He took a courageous stand.

11. This is an appropriate honor

12. He's reminding a lot of people of why protest is such an important American value

and a lot of people need that reminder. I fully agree with this.

13. Activist or Disruptor of the year would fit better.

Stopped watching football because of his blackballing. He did a lot to highlight BLM movement and continues to work in African American communities. I applaud those actions. Just don't see how they can call him a Citizen of the year when he not only didn't vote but proudly proclaimed his nonparticipation.
