...and his position wasn't actually controversial. He openly supports racial equality, supports law enforcement reform, but has the audacity to acknowledge that he didn't believe it was right to disrespect the flag/anthem to promote it.

Right, that last part is what did him in with his teammates. In essence saying he thought or thinks they are disrespecting the flag with their protests.

And, they were. Maybe some didn't intend to. But, they certainly were to a LARGE percentage of the population.
And, Kaepernick admitted it himself.
And, they didn't find another way to protest once it became apparent. Instead, they doubled down.

When Drew brees was told some people felt disrespected, he apologized
When the protesters were told some people felt disrespected, they double downed
Do you agree josh? Seems rather clear. Neither side meant to disrespect anyone according to themselves, but only one apologized, while the other didn’t

Not only did the players double down, they called those that objected to disrespecting the flag racists.
And, not only was Brees' apology not accepted, but he was called racist for not believing in disrespecting the flag.

Well that's your own fault. Clearly it's working on a great deal of society. Look at the protests. People showing up worldwide. Maybe you should do some introspection and come back with a more mature attitude

Equal Credit Opportunity Act Edit Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA"), a creditor may not discriminate against an applicant based on the applicant's race, color, or national origin "with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction", 15 U.S.C. § 1991. Fair Housing Act Edit Under the Fair Housing Act ("FHA") (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), it is "unlawful for any person or other entity whose business includes engaging in residential real estate-related transactions to discriminate against any person in making available such a transaction, or in the terms or conditions of such a transaction, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin". 42 U.S.C. § 3605. Section 3605, although not specifically naming foreclosures, discrimination in "the manner in which a lending institution forecloses a dlinquent or defaulted mortgage note" falls under the realm of the "terms or conditions of such loan". Harper v. Union Savings Association, 429 F.Supp. 1254, 1258-59 (N.D. Ohio 1977). The Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity is charged with administering and enforcing the Fair Housing Act. Any person who feels that they have faced lending discrimination can file a fair housing complaint. FDIC Edit Consistent with many jurisdictions throughout the country, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), based in part on a study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, issued a "Policy Statement On Discrimination In Lending" on April 29, 2004, emphasizing the breadth of prohibitions on discriminatory conduct in lending under the ECOA and the FHA. The FDIC Policy Statement explained that "courts have recognized three methods of proof of lending discrimination under the ECOA and the FH Act", including: "Overt evidence of discrimination", when a lender blatantly discriminates on a prohibited basis; evidence of "disparate treatment", when a lender treats applicants differently based on one of the prohibited factors; and evidence of "disparate impact", when a lender applies a practice uniformly to all applicants but the practice has a discriminatory effect on a prohibited basis and is not justified by business necessity.[25] FDIC Policy Statement, p. 5399 (April 29, 2004). Civil Rights Act of 1966 Edit In addition to ECOA and FHA, the Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, provides that "[a]ll citizens of the United States shall have the same right, in every State and Territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property". 42 U.S.C. § 1982.
You know about any of this numb nuts?
Imagine not being able to get a line of credit to run a business, unless you’re white.
That was our country until about 1974.
There’s no way I could run my business without a line of credit.
And having a business line of credit wasnt even an option for black folks until 1974 when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed.
This is systematic oppression.
Non whites couldnt get home mortgages either. How many of you bought your house outright? Probably none. We all have mortgages - fair housing act wasnt passed until 1968. This is systematic oppression.
Imagine if your parents and grandparents literally had NO CHANCE to progress themselves.
Meltttt bitches. Drew Brees apologized. GET OVER IT!!!! Hahaha

Hmmm why don't we see what the leader of this movement said himself--
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Brees has become nothing but a pathetic figure with no backbone whatsoever. In a matter of days he went from someone we thought would stand for his convictions to someone who is kneeling and begging because the black players demanded him to do so.
Now he has the respect of no one. His teammates know he can be lead around by the nose, and the rest of America knows you can't believe anything he says and his values extend only to his paycheck. I'll be so glad when this spineless guy is gone.

He should have stuck with his morals. Everything is for show now. To thine own self be true. Instead he's basically become a sellout at this point, but he has been that way for years.
I don't believe a word he says anymore.

Yup, and I found your momma.
Equal credit opp act of 1974 and fair housing act of 1968 were real.
Unlike your opinions
Bye Felicia!

What was wrong with his original opinion? It was pro America, pro social justice, and pro mutual respect. Scholar Thomas and Jenkins all but called him a racist for that.
