It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what the kneeling was about

What is the kneeling about? If I ask 10 different people I’ll get 10 different answers.

You know perfectly well that this country isn’t built on free speech and you can only say out loud opinions in line with liberals and blm.

Get off the internet bro. This is obviously not true outside of the Twitter echo chamber.

Honestly, on a much smaller scale, this just reminds me why I stopped helping others. You give and you give and you give, but no matter how much you do, people will turn on you the second they can.

Surround yourself with better people.

When did you get reinstated?

just hopefully Brees doesn't bow down and apologize for his views. if he makes a statement saying that the interview was taken out of context (because like everything else that goes viral, it was), then fine, but don't apologize for your views. there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. he was very sympathetic to what's going on and just gave his opinion (when directly asked) about using the flag and anthem to protest.

if you disagree with his opinion that's fine, but it doesn't give you the right to demonize a man who has single handily done more for New Orleans than anyone else over the last 15 years.

just last month this man donated $5 million towards meals for local families who cannot afford them during the Covid lockdown. that's just one of countless things he's done for the community, but even that alone is more than what 99% of these celebrities and white SJW's who are demonizing him have done combined.

So much winning on so many levels in that pic.

And Brittany for the win all day long.

Money doesn't define whether you are a good person doofus

I really hope Gayle or Sean come out and support Drew. Doubt it though.

Melania looks like someone is standing behind her pulling her face back 24/7. Face so tight she can't even smile all the way

Brittany B in a landslide.

He never said he is misunderstood the reason for kneeling. He just disagrees with using the National Anthem and the American Flag as time to kneel. He himself kneeled with all of his teammates prior to games in 2017 before the anthem played in solidarity. He himself has donated millions of dollars to local charities and has partaken in many community outreach programs to better the area.

He said what HE thinks of when the anthem plays and what it means to him and went so far as to say it's not solely his grandfather or any other member of the armed forces he thinks of. He thinks of those that have given their lives for justice in the civil rights movements of yesteryear and today.

People are putting words into his mouth and making snap judgments and assumptions about a man who, I believe, has more than earned the benefit of the doubt from his teammates and from people in New Orleans and all across Louisiana. You want justice? You want equality? Not only seek betterness from others but also be willing to hear their opinions in return. That's dialogue.
