Who Knew John Elway was such a hypocrite?

"...when Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall knelt for the national anthem last season, his No. 54 jersey was torched outside Mile High Stadium. He was one of many players who took on political issues in the last year that were punished for it.
So when Elway sent a letter of recommendation recently on behalf of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch on company letterhead with the Broncos team logo, he used the team, their colors, and their place in popular culture to advocate for politics. He used his celebrity and the team he works for to influence the appointment of a Supreme Court justice who will determine how laws are interpreted.
So why is it OK for teams and executives to advocate for issues but not for their players to do the same?"

Exactly, Hall. What Elway did is worse - yet he will not get punished.

Did Elway punish Marshall?
Did Elway punish Marshall? No, he didn't. The fans voiced their displeasure with his actions, and they are free to do so with Elway as well. Elway isn't responsible for how the fans react to a players actions or his own.
But what this idiotic column really shows is that modern day sports writers are just frustrated leftists who now use their jobs as sports writers to advertise their political beliefs. Virtue signaling at its worst.
Shut the f*#k up and write about sports. If you want to be a political commentator, get another job.

Of all the groups frustrated leftists have infiltrated sports writers are pretty far down my list.
