Glad there are some clear-headed individuals out there who feel this way when so many others were so quick to say he was guilty without even hearing his side or the evidence he had to prove himself innocent.

Many fans also said that although Anthony Mackie is going to get a lot of hate for saying this, he is definitely right.
Mackie gonna get cooked but he’s technically right

From what I’m hearing in the court proceedings, nothing has changed and Majors didn’t do anything wrong. Until that changes, I’m fine with supporting him. Mackie is correct and anyone who takes issue with all of this is either biased, racist or both.

One user even said that Marvel did the right thing by casting Anthony Mackie as Captain America after Chris Evans as this was a very “Captain America” thing to say.
I mean, I think this statement proves A-tier casting. That is a VERY Captain America thing to say
