Congrats to him on the consistency and also being clueless about when it's really smarter to keep your opinions to yourself

Was he not asked a direct question?

I don’t think he went out just screaming about not kneeling during the anthem.

The guy just donated 5M fricking dollars to help deliver meals during the lockdown but you have clowns on twitter trying to “cancel” him. Those clowns collectively in their lifetimes will not do a fraction for the black community or any community of what Brees did just a few months ago.

While they were busy blacking our their Instagram he’s fed thousands and actually walked the walk of caring for his fellow man.

It sounds like he was asked a question and he answered it vs. unilaterally voicing his opinion.

Why is he tone deaf? Because he doesn’t have the same opinion as you? That’s the biggest problem. The minute someone doesn’t agree they are racist or don’t understand.

He didn’t need to say anything about the flag. He just alienated the majority of his teammates.

Funny thing is, this is America, and he's free to say whatever he feels. Same as the freedom to scream "frick the police" 2 inches away from a policeman. Freedom is a two way street.

I don't think he's ever said that things are perfect the way they are. He is for change and is working within his community to help foster that change. He's speaking with his teammates. Yeah, sure he may vote a particular way, but maybe in that he's communicating and pushing the ideas that his teammates and local leaders have told him and he agrees.

It's really ok to support a cause but not entirely agree with how it's being handled. I'm sure many in the country agree with him on the flag and anthem but also support racial equality and denounce police brutality. It's not an all or nothing thing. These things are all complex and require dialogue and flexibility in understanding.

He completely ignored what kneeling during the anthem actually meant and ignores that the rights his grandfathers fought for are actually not granted unilaterally right now. That's not an opinion.
