What annoyed me was what Maria Taylor said on Twitter...that “the first time someone shows you who they are, you should listen”. That I don’t get.


This is what got me too. You mean this is the first time Brees has shown you who he is??? Ridiculous. And then to just disregard his apology which he didn't even have to make.

Except that his belief isn't insensitive so there's no need to apologize for an insensitive belief.

Ahh, so thats how it works

I guess that means the players cant tell others how to feel about their kneeling from the flag?

They can say whatever the they want, and in fact they do.

Insensitivity is ambiguous. What offends you might not offend me.

Ok. So you agree people feel like kneeling for the flag is disrepectful to some people serving, so the players are therefore insensitive to those men who feel that way


Lester, you have evolved

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.
They did respect the other point of view. They stopped kneeling , but always explained that it wasn't about hating the flag, soldiers/ veterans ,etc.....


Yet 4 years later Drew is still claiming that
his teammates & other players were disrespectful to his paw paw ( soldiers) & the flag.



Brees could simply said something along the lines .." After watching the George Floyd video I now understand why my teammates & other players kneeled. It wasn't about the flag , veterans and soldiers. While we disagreed on the venue of the protests I certainly support their reason for protesting"

And even after this, he is still being roasted and labeled a racist across media outlets. And not just small ones, fox sports and espn

So like the other poster said, he is cancelled immediately

no this was not about politics. its about human decency. When you know your brother is hurting it is not the best time to bring up somehting you disagree on. Brees agreed. And said so himself.

Sorry this was misleading Brees could have said this instead of lying about the motives of kneelers .
