Most speculation regarding the Vikings letting you go refers to either your on-the-field performance (perhaps also considering your age and pay level), or your off-the-field activism/political stances. Putting those two aside, could you comment on whether you think an additional reason could have been disrespect of of your boss through the creation of the "focused" meme (he stated he'd like you to "focus on holding and punting," and ever since you used hashtags "#sofocused" "#focus," etc.).
I know you believe (rightly so) that you can separate your on-the-field and off-the-field responsibilities, so rather than argue the merits of "focusing" I'm curious to hear your thoughts on whether your jokes regarding it (which could be perceived as open, public mocking of your boss) could have been a factor in your dismissal.

It's "Goldthwait," not "Goldwaithe." Not mentioning that to be a dick about the spelling; I just thought you'd like to know as it's also misspelled on your website.
