Former A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell, the only MLB player to take a knee during the national anthem to protest social injustice and racial inequality, fired his agent on Thursday after he grew frustrated that he remains unsigned.
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that several sources believe Maxwell might not ever get another job in the big leagues again, regardless of who represents him.
Maxwell was arrested for aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.in October 2017 after he pulled a gun on a fast-food delivery worker, but that is not reportedly the main reason he doesn’t have a job.
