Who you marry (or so to speak) is another one.  But aside from that there aren't many other non-criminal ways to show what you care about than where you work.

In Colorado pot is legal, for example, but I wouldn't work there even though I support it.  I wouldn't be a used car salesman at a disreputable business either.  There are many, many other examples.  Others are free to do it, I'm just very picky, and lucky to be in a position to choose, about that.

Ed, your actions are to be applauded.  The comments at mgoblog are pretty sickening (the few I've read; maybe someone showed a little class later on).  It is rare to see such rationalizations.  One I saw is once you're a fan you're always a fan; another is supposition that he is probably going to get fired from ESPN.

But Mr. Cunningham is misdirected.  If you have a lot of concussions by the time you are a college player you should get out.  Other than that CTE appears much more to be a professional problem.  How to solve that is simple:  play football, earn a scholarship, and get out.
