In a Quiet "Fashion"

When it comes to political or societal issues, quiet seems like a word pretty much nonexistent.

Everyone wants to be heard, everyone feels their beliefs are right and things get pretty messy. 
Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

What about the athlete whose paid to play but has an opinion.

He or she doesn't march the city streets for hours chanting.

He simply wears a T-shirt in support of a man who lost his life in a very unfortunate situation.

Some fans say "it's not appropriate". "It's offensive" or even distracting.

A T-shirt worn for the duration of a warmup then it's back to the jersey colors you so unapologetically advocate for!

Your touchdowns are still made. You still get your game winning shot right before the buzzer.

They find a way to give you all you came for while exercising their right to an opinion all in a quiet fashion.

Distracting? I say impressive.
