Chris Borland, the young man who retired from the SF 49ers

because of concern for his health, I always admired what he did ( and I am a big Niner fan)

I was reading the espn article on him and I like him even better now

"At Wisconsin, in 2011, Borland was punished with extra conditioning for skipping class to protest Republican Gov. (and current presidential candidate) Scott Walker, who was trying to limit collective bargaining for public employees. Borland marched with three cousins, one a teacher, and carried a sign that read: recall walker."
