Because he's not entitled to his opinion by saying you should stand for the flag and not kneel. God forbid he has a thought. My god, lets burn him at the stake. You can still be against police brutality and for standing for the national anthem. Like you know, walk and chew gum at the same time. Its possible. Assholes.
More details.... note he came out today and issued a sort of half-hearted apology while not conceding the point he was making. Drew Brees finds support amid backlash over stance on kneeling during national anthem https://www.foxnews.com/sports/drew-brees-support-backlash-kneeling-during-national-anthem Drew Brees created an uproar Wednesday when he defended his stance against players kneeling during the national anthem, but found at least two people with New Orleans Saints tied in his corner. While Brees was getting hammered from the likes of LeBron James, Aaron Rodgers, former wide receiver Joe Horn told The Athletic that people like the Los Angeles Lakers superstar should get to know Brees first before making any decision. “People should not be throwing Drew Brees under the bus, and they definitely need to pump the brakes on labeling him a racist,” Horn said. “I know Drew Brees. Drew has done a lot to help black families and the black community in New Orleans. If Drew Brees didn’t love black families and low-income families he wouldn’t have helped the way he has over the years. People that are criticizing him like LeBron James and other celebrities don’t know him. They need to check his resume. “I love my race. And I love New Orleans to death. But I know Drew Brees. And Drew is a good person. And until you have walked beside him and gotten to know him, his wife and family, you definitely have to give him a pass on this one and allow Drew a chance to think about what he said and come back and make this right. And I know he will.” Horn, who pleaded guilty to his role in a health care scam in December, played with Brees in 2006. It was his final year with the Saints. He was reacting to James’ comments on Twitter which read, “WOW MAN!! Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee?? Has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect of and our soldiers(men and women) who keep our land free. My father-in-law was one of those.” Marcus Davenport, who is currently Brees’ teammate, tweeted his defense of the quarterback. Brees told Yahoo Finance that he would never agree with players protesting during the national anthem. “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country. Let me just tell you what I see or what I feel when the national anthem is played and when I look at the flag of the United States,” he said. Brees likened standing for the national anthem to saluting the military. “I envision my two grandfathers, who fought for this country during World War II, one in the Army and one in the Marine Corps. Both risking their lives to protect our country and to try to make our country and this world a better place. So every time I stand with my hand over my heart looking at that flag and singing the national anthem, that’s what I think about," he said. “Drew wasn’t talking about the current protest, the riots or really anything besides HIS feelings on kneeling during the National Anthem,” Davenport wrote. “He even explained what they were, the basis and that he actually stands with us. Do we have to entirely agree with him, no.” (More at above url)
And just as quickly, Drew Brees cucked out and apologized. I guess those tens of millions of dollars mean more than his beliefs. Hard to respect someone who does not stand for what he believes in. He should have kept his mouth shut then. Now, he looks like a gutless wimp.
Just needing somebody to hate on. Thats all it is. Because if you read all of brees comments he is pro justice against minority police issues. But that gets ignored because little mommas boys get upset and don't know how to think. Whaa whaaa, mommy drew said mean things. whaaaa
