I think it is a good thing to show solidarity, be passionate about a cause or causes and speak up about it.
I don't think the language you're using is helpful here, seems like a very cynical worldview. Just because Jordan Henderson sold out his beliefs for a bit of cash doesn't mean that everyone who cares about social causes is a "virtue signalling twt" and it's unhelpful to tarnish people with that brush.
Just my two cents on the matter seeing as you gave yours
Virtue signalling is a term that's seldom used correctly or in good faith. Most of the time people do actually care about the virtues they spout.
It's only really used by people who want to defend themselves from fair criticism because "everyone secretly thinks like them"
