Herschel Walker Avoids the Blitz And Blasts “Cancel Culture...”

Walker shot back at that notion, asking, "Why are people upset that he has an opinion?"

"You know, just because he doesn't believe in what you believe in, why is people upset about that?" Walker said. "That's what is great about America, is we have a right to choose. And if that's the way he feels, it's okay that he feels like that."

The Heisman Trophy winner went on to argue that the reaction to Brees' comment is representative of a broader problem with cancel culture, in general, though he did not use that phrase.

"Why in the world, can people not have an opinion today that they disagree with you? And if you disagree with someone, Glenn, you are going to be called a racist," he said. "If I disagree with someone, I'm going to be called an Uncle Tom."

"And I'm like, jeez. That means I can't think for myself? Can I not think for myself, please? You know, that's the reason, I think, people fought years ago. That's what Martin Luther King marched about," he added.
