Playing QB at any level requires total focus. The amount of focus and attention detail in the NFL required to keep that job is mind boggling. I played it high school and sucked not because I was a bad athlete but because I was not fast enough at making decisions.
Anyone who thinks he decided when at the same time as analyzing the defensive set, his teams set and perhaps signals coming at him from the sidelines he is going to think, how about I flash a racist symbol is clueless to the game. Plus, it would totally confuse his offense if it was a random gesture. Every hand signal he makes and every thing he says in that position has a defined meaning.
This OP should be deleted. It makes liberals look silly.
And anyway, most Americans arent glued to political sites nor following news that close. Guarantee you most Americans when shown that hand signal would say it means OK. Which it has meant for decades.
