Was Drew Brees set up.?

I am curious as to how Drew Brees came to mixed up in this fiasco.All I know is he gave an interview with someone and gave an honest answer as to his opinion on kneeling for the flag,not offensive to blacks as far as I can tell.Then there is all this backlash against his statement,so he makes these groveling apologies which pissed off lots of his fans.To make it worse,his wife comes out with a nonsensical statement that makes him look even weaker.I don’t see this as ending well for him,he’s in a no-win situation.
From all I’ve read he is a good guy,not at all rascist, has done a lot for New Orleans and black people
It seems to me that he was set-up in an effort to take him down for some reason.Why wasn’t Tom Brady questioned about standing for the flag or some of the other quarterbacks?Dak Prescott made a statement that he would never kneel and he didn’t get any pushback.He’s the only other one that I’ve read about.
I hate for Bree’s career to end like this.

Yes but he should have known better. He's been doing this for a very long time.

The fact his public persona is a Christian family man, he is an easy target for a leftist journalist. He is a fricking moron for even answering that question and even a dumber frick for being a huge cuck now.

The timing is interesting. Roger Goodell and the NFL owners have been taking heat for how they treated Colin Kaepernick and how they were unresponsive to black football player concerns.
With death of George Floyd, the black players were reaching a boiling point toward the NFL for not releasing a statement.
Brees became the focal point for the anger toward management.
During bountygate, the NFL shifted injury blame back to the players for concussion law suit purposes.
Brees left himself wide open and took the heat unwittingly for NFL ownership.

Interview was with Yahoo sports. The same Yahoo sports who leaked all of the NCAA basketball BS involving LSU. Conclusion : Yahoo hates Louisiana & can shove it up their... Yahoo!

Because they smartly haven't given any interviews or ones that weren't highly controlled. They aren't foreced to talk to anyone.

It was Yahoo Finance, not yahoo sports. I haven't heard the whole interview, but I've heard that it was the only sports question he was asked. And I said from the snap that he should have beat ole boy's arse on the spot!

Unless he has his head up his arse he should have known that question would probably get asked so he made his bed and then made it worse with his wobbling backwards.

Set up or not, he's been exposed as a capitulating weasel with only himself to blame. Shame, really.

Just look at it like he didn't read that defense very well and threw the ball right into the cornerback's hands.

The landmine was right there on the clean sidewalk pavement in broad daylight and Drew looked at that thing and stomped right on it.
How in the world could he make such a foolish PR mistake right in the middle of the George Floyd Hysteria?

Yep, one of those rare cases when an experience QB throws the ball right into the Cornerback's hands !

Did CSP add the final landmine?
Brees takes a picture with POTUS.
He reiterates his stance on kneeling to Yahoo.
The players are prepared to release a 70 second video condemning the NFL for their silence. The video hits during the Brees controversy.
The players wanted the NFL to address Kaepernick, kneeling, and Floyd.
CSP brings Malcolm Jenkins on board with an activist attacking history that had to be known to our coach and GM.
Brees stepped right in it and on it.
Seems like liberal CSP wanted Drew retired.

I think that is too much speculation for me.

Fair enough. But, why did CSP sign Malcolm Jenkins with the potential Colin Kaepernick like protest history.
quote:
New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said the efforts by commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL to support players fighting for social justice have fallen short because they have yet to properly address their handling of Colin Kaepernick.
"I still don't think [the NFL has] gotten it right. Until they apologize, specifically, to Colin Kaepernick, or assign him to a team, I don't think that they will end up on the right side of history," Jenkins, who is the co-founder of the Players Coalition, said Tuesday in an appearance on "CBS This Morning."
"At the end of the day, they've listened to their players, they've donated money, they've created an Inspire Change platform; they've tried to do things up to this point. But it's been one player in particular that they have ignored and not acknowledged, and that's Colin Kaepernick."
"That's the only thing people want to hear," Jenkins said of the NFL's silence on Kaepernick. "If it's not going to correct that or acknowledge that, then everything else doesn't need to be said."

It must be hard living life being so fricking stupid that you still think people were mad at Brees cause he stands for the flag. Same bunch of idiots who think Kaepernick disrespected the military.

CSP must have had a "blind spot" for the political ramifications of signing a Malcolm Jenkins.
Like all Americans who just want to make a living and be the best they can be for their loved ones, CSP had a blind spot to the political ramifications.
CSP's lesson is a very good one for all of us -- if you never lose your "blind spot" WRT the political ramifications of contributing to Leftist political power, maybe you'll want to KEEP it because it will be too late to either do as they say, or they will hurt you and your loved ones.
Good lesson, CSP. Good lesson.
Worst case? Jenkins is released after he totally destroys the locker room chemistry of the team.

You all are the only ones still focusing on Brees in all this.
