Celebrities and rich people love slacktivism, they get to feel good about themselves by making people "aware" of an issue without spending any of their millions or giving up their free time

This is hardly unique to celebrities or millionaires

True, but they don't have the platform that a celebrity or sports star would, and I'm fine with standing up against police brutality and Black rights, but unless you're actually going to do something to help, it's extremely hollow and self indulgent

he's not even protesting though, i said it before it's almost the laziest thing he could do next to a facebook post

it's more likely he is upset with his situation in san francisco and wants to go to another team so he decided to make a spectacle of himself by latching onto this issue

what has he actually done to further the cause of police violence against blacks? nothing, it's just a low level troll to get himself exposure
