The Black Cats man has come under heavy criticism for opting against wearing the shirt prior to the clash against Everton, and received a mixed reception after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday.
Speaking after this weekend's win, O'Neill said: "James will deal with the booing. I think it is to do with the issue last week, it's a free choice in this world.
"James has lived with a lot of things - he's getting death threats too now so that doesn't help."
