“I think he should have every opportunity,” Ryan said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. “He created awareness for a situation that — it’s taking some time — people are becoming more active in terms of their response to it. I think from that standpoint his protest is being heard . . . I think he should have every opportunity to have a job and have a spot in this league.”
