    Well David Beckham was in Qatar’s backpocket for sponsoring tourism-- even with their egregious human right record. Sporting figures are not acting out of altruism or causes, they are like any other professional whose talent lies in playing football and getting paid a pretty penny for doing so. I’m confident that most players are apolitical (and taking the knee was probably promoted by the EPL rather than a collective action by players).
