Hamilton is a very smart guy...he knows perfectly well that trying to use his significant influence on matters such as BLM, climate change etc will draw a significant amount of flak.
Yet he does it anyway because he believes in the causes.
Its a brave person who puts his head up above the parapet and takes a stand knowing he will get no small amount of hate for it.
Myself I admire him for it..but then I think the causes he supports are worthy....maybe that makes some difference.
In any case...Sports cannot expect to exist in a bubble impervious to all the crap going on around them.
