If you try to please everyone you will please no one. The people wanting him to apologize were never going to accept his apology and they will continue to ostracize him. In caving like he did, he lost all respect of those who supported him. You stand for something or you fall for anything. I think Drew’s a good guy but he should have bowed his back and stood on his own two legs and stuck by his position. This is still America after all and we are still entitled to an opinion

Probably the most important thing to come from all of this. If your opinion doesn’t align with the cancel culture it’s a lose lose

He is just tone deaf. I mean I’ve never thought he was the most bright so I’m not surprised by his comments.

Twitter will still be mad at him. Who cares, teammates are good let’s move on.

They are never going to respect him anymore, and worse yet, he will not respect himself for it. He’d be much better off making a public statement saying he was wrong to allow himself to be manipulated and intimidated to deny what he believes, and personally id announce my retirement right then and there and let them all choke on it. He’s never going to hurt for money, and the people love him and will love him more for making a stand.

Brees should have remembered the words of Jesus: “If the world hates you, remember, it hated me first.”

And you’re a weak follower brainwashed by CNN. I’ve seen this “tone deaf” term used about 50 times since this started

Brees is no Dak Prescott


Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has pledged $1 million "to improve police training and address systematic racism through education and advocacy in our country."

Tone deaf for saying he supports standing for the flag/anthem, yet supports the rights of his teammates to protest?

So personal beliefs that go against the groupthink is now tone deaf? Scary times, y’all.

Lesson of the day. Tell the media you are not doing any interviews on any subject. Stay out of the line of fire. Nothing good will come from opening your mouth in his position. It was a trap plain and simple and he got caught up in it. Drew is a good guy and this shows how insane this movement has become.

Lol no he always has been. Y’all getting riled up over me saying Drew doesn’t seem that bright. I mean the dude supported advocare. Didn’t say I agree with what is happening. I’m just not surprised he ran his mouth.

Most people really aren’t mad at the situation. Don’t let a twitter and talking heads make you think that.

Brees emboldened cancel culture. Total wet noodle.

Lesson is just put a little black square on insta. Apparently just doing that makes you acceptable, not actions or thoughts.

I hate social media.

I disagree with you generally, but that’s a solid point about Advocare.

Either keep your mouth shut, or state your position and then stick to it.
