I don’t even think his initial comment was insensitive. He was asked a question and he answered. He didn’t insert himself into the conversation.

He will win the moderate person who believes Drew Brees character is unfairly being drug through the mud
He will lost the irrational twitter mob
But, he cares about the twitter mob unfortunately

Payton is either showing cowardice and no leadership whatsoever or he actually agrees with Jenkins and Thomas and those guys.

This is the fricking problem, IT WAS HIS OPINION, HOW THE frick CAN THAT BE A MISTAKE?
KNEELING IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, WE GET IT. The flag and what it represents, and showing that honor is important to him. That is such a simple thing to understand, and no one has any fricking respect for it at all. People can think differently and still not lynch one another. In this movement though there is no room for opposing thought at all and it's bullshite

But I agree in general. If you asked Lebron or any of these Saints players who bashed Brees in 2015(before Kaep's kneeling ever existed) why they stand for the Anthem, the answer would be the respect blah blah blah. So it's only logical to think not standing for the flag is NOT respecting the flag.
And if that's not enough, Colin Kaepernick himself told us part of the reason he wouldn't stand is point blank because he didn't want to show pride in the flag and country. If THAT doesn't make someone then at least understand the viewpoint and at worst disagree respectfully, then that person isn't trying to be rational and just wants to be mad for the sake of being mad.

No no no no.
YOU care about the twitter mob. A very small, very reactionary portion of critics, which offer no real threat or consequence to Drew Brees' legacy.
The Saints had a conversation in-house and are dealing with it. Sean Payton doesn't care about what Shannon Sharpe is saying lmao

And 2015 was before there was a supposed universal way of expressing dissatisfaction with police brutality and social injustices.

And he did, but he wasn’t defending Brees, if he was defending Brees he would have defended his right to speak his mind.

Barkley tells shite how it is and doesn't go around pandering for woke points. I respect someone who actually speaks his mind instead of trying to virtue signal the loudest.
Exactly. I disagree with Chuck that Drew's comments were insensitive but I respect his POV because I know he also respects mine and people like me. This is refreshing when so many people are just screaming "racist" at anyone that doesn't agree with them 100%.

If you thought it was disrespectful to not stand for the Anthem in 2015, there is nothing wrong or nothing you should have to apologize for to still keep that same belief in 2020.

He didn’t apologize for his beliefs. He apologized for the insensitivity and lack of awareness. Ie the timing of it.

Newsflash: This is ALL overkill. The a-hole cop was arrested and will stand trial. Everything that came after that was unnecessary attention seeking/pandering/virtue signaling/ or rioting and looting.

well You don’t throw gas on your teammates house when it is on fire. Drew knew those guys Intentions weren’t disrespecting the troops when they protest but he brought it up again anyway. Even though they had told him that isn’t what it was about. When your family is having a rough time is not the time to bring something up that disagree so vehemently on. Like drew said himself, he lacked awareness and compassion. Come on Drew, time and place bro. That was not the time to say that.

So funny we are always expected to bow down and accept the other side's opinion but we get crucified by them for our own opinions. If you are under the impression Brees has to respect their POV then you must believe they have to respect his. That's the root of this problem. BLM backers want to shout and preach and tell you how to feel. They don't want a real discussion.
