Reid would make just about every team in the NFL better if he were on their roster and would fit into almost every NFL defensive system. I can't think of a reason why he isn't signed by someone. He should either be starting or fighting for a starting spot on a dozen NFL rosters.
Because he potentially pisses off half of his potential future employer’s client base?
The NFL isn’t in the business of righting perceived civil wrongs, and there is no right to work in the NFL. The NFL is in the entertainment business and they make their money by allowing people to enjoy watching a sport and connecting with a team. A guy can be the most talented employee in the world, but if he choses to use the company and their brand to project a personal political view that alienates half the customer base, it’s bad business to hire them.
The loss of the size of the revenue pool just can’t justify bringing on the talent - not unless he is a talent so transcedent that he is likely to positively impact the company’s performance so much that most of the alienated customers would be willing to ignore what makes them angry/frustrated/tired of seeing it at an entertainment event. And like it or not, a safety (or a mediocre at best QB) ain’t that guy.
