re: Saints captains: We need a true public reckoning over the way police treat Black people

I watched less Saints football the last two years than I ever have in my life. It was much easier to do than I had previously expected. With Brees now retired it will be even easier to cut them out entirely if necessary. The lecturing from people who are clearly not intellectually qualified to be lecturing on complex sociopolitical issues is not something self-respecting people are going to subject themselves to indefinitely. Sports is for entertainment and these guys aren't paid millions of dollars because their intellectual prowess affords them unique clarity on race, crime, governance, or any subject whatsoever outside of playing football.

These are adults playing a child's game and believing that their celebrity as athlete entertainers gives them some unique perspective or moral vantage point. It doesn't. And Drew Brees is such a coward and slave to his own financial interests. There is really no other way to interpret his newfound pandering after his retard teammates shitted all over him for daring to challenge their bullshite theatrics.
