Drew Brees apologized on Thursday morning for his recent comments about players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.
Brees, the longtime New Orleans Saints quarterback, posted his apology on Instagram, and indicated that he’d spoken to several people about how his comments made them feel and the pain his words had caused them.
Brees did an interview with Yahoo Finance on Wednesday during which he was asked how the NFL should react if players start kneeling in protest during the national anthem, as Colin Kaepernick did in 2016.
“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America,” Brees said. He also compared the sacrifice of people who served in the military to the sacrifices of people who fought for civil rights.

I think I am done with the NFL. I can't take the Racial Prejudice, double standard, Virtue Signaling and anti American bias any longer.

I never understood why people enjoy watching a bunch of pampered millionaires run up and down a field playing with a ball. Of course this goes for baseball and basketball as well. I've never been a fan of professional sports.

Like most of us here, I am more of a participant than an observer in just about anything. Therefore, I do not devote a lot of time to watching sports, but still watch the Eagles from time to time. That's about it for me, but I think I'm done with them too. Their owner is a FLAMING Progressive douche.

I don't get it. The teams get a stadium built at taxpayer expense, then charge exorbitant ticket prices and the concessions charge unreal amounts. They pay the players millions who more often than not turn into primadonnas.
It's all such a scam, let these teams foot the bill, it's their game.

For the first time in my lifetime, you are prohibited from having an opinion that is inconsistent with the prevailing mob’s demands.
I’ve never seen anything like it.

What a d bag. I've lost all respect for Brees, and I am no longer going to watch the NFL. I am DONE with them.
Brees responded to the president in an online post Friday night.
"Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It never has been," Brees wrote on Instagram.
"We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities," the quarterback continued. "We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform.

Watching football makes drinking beer more exciting.
