Miami Dolphins defensive end Robert Quinn played seven seasons for the Rams before they traded him this past offseason. Quinn was once one of the most feared pass rushers in the league. Now, he's known for other reasons as well. Quinn has voiced his displeasure with the way the country is and how certain players get cast aside for speaking their minds.

In addition to that, Quinn has also called out the media for what he perceives to be a lack of attention from it, per Fox Ryan's Ryan Gaydos.

“Y’all ignore it. Because when I gave my first message on trying to bring unity, y’all swept it under the rug. It’s not me. When you don’t give a problematic story, y’all just ran away,” Quinn said.

Quinn also went on to express his view of the country's state right now.

“The way America was built, and the way people talk. The president said to build a wall to keep Mexicans out. This country was built off of — they killed Indians, built off the backs of the blacks. So yet, they tell us to keep quiet. So at the end of the day, let’s confront the situation and let’s bring humanity and friendship and let’s get rid of all the ignorance. Let’s face it head-on, let’s look at each other as humans. I always live by this one law: Treat each other like you want to be treated. You don’t ever want to smack someone in the face and don’t expect to get smacked back. It’s just that simple fact. Don’t treat someone bad and expect not to be treated the same way. That’s just how it is.”

Quinn is not alone in the views and beliefs he possesses as players such as Eric Reid, Malcolm Jenkins, and most notably Colin Kaepernick share similar beliefs. These players, along with Quinn, have been punished and put in a negative light in the media for expressing their principles.
