Crowd chanting “fuck Drew Brees”

https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1268360927361093638

Drew Brees is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL but he missed the point on why players like Kaepernick kneeled as a form of a silent and peaceful protest. Brees went straight to the national anthem when asked about players kneeling again when the NFL season starts.

Joe Horn defends Drew Brees:

Drew Brees issued an apology sayin he fucked up. Prolly too late on the Saints front tho, they’re not gonna protect him out on that field anymore, his best bet to ask for a trade or something

He will be a Saint and for the purpose of winning a Super Bowl they will let it go on the field but they lost all real respect for him for sure and they should and the team should note vote him captain and send the message that he clearly isn’t a leader of the team

But hey I would love for him to be sent packing from NO obviously.

I don’t see the Saints gettin rid of Brees due to his skill level, but I could definitely see the black players on defense not protecting him when he has the ball. And I’d imagine other teams would put a bounty on him too, Dude might get injured the first game

Hope Barrett and JPP eat him alive along with a Suh stomp for good measure…

Speaking of the Saints, whatever happened with them being connected to a pedophile list? I remember hearing about it early this year, but I haven’t heard much since.

He didn’t even “really” apologize. He “hates the way his comments were perceived” and also believes he’s part of the solution.

I don’t see Brees getting the Willie Beamon treatment.

That CTE must be affecting his brain to say some shit like that :joy:
giphy

Totally not surprised by the hypocrisy from Laura Inghram…

Wait for it…

SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILP!!!

He read Drew all his rights. . . .

If he takes a 1 year 1-2 million a year deal then the Brady effect is real. He isn’t the same Freeman but would give Brady a Whiteesq kinda player and lets be real better than RoJo IMO. Someone like Matthews could follow as Tampas under 5 million cap will quickly dry up.

Roger Goodell admits he fucked up…but I feel the damage has been done.

Without black players, there would be no National Football League

Literally took them an international-sized peaceful protest demonstration, with rioting and looting here and there, for them to come around to admit they were wrong. They already caused enough fracturing of the black leaders throughout the NFL and NFLPA. The platitudes and mea culpa isn’t enough.

Its a step in the right direction…

The test is this year… When the players do this and it will be many that do will they let them and ignore the outside voices like Trumps when he is relentless about it especially in October going into early November? or can they ignore the resurrections of the white guys saying they wont watch the NFL this year now like they have been today…

I said above they needed to apologize and they did… They admitted the wrong against Kaep… But now they have to put action into place and show with actions they care… Ill give them a fair chance to do so… Hopefully they do the right thing…

It is a first step. They actually have to follow through though. But finally having some balls by saying they fucked up is a start.
