Fuck this bs. Sorry Drew, you've been spouting this bullshit about the flag, etc. for years and years (plus all your other anti-lgbt views) so this hollow apology isn't going to cut it.

Hahaha the photo he chose has me belly laughing early in the morning. Come on Drew lmaoYou have to post the photo he chose on Instagram. Lol.
God, 3 years and they're still at it with the whole "disrespecting the flag" strawman bullshit. BLM was 5 years ago and people like Brees said "that's not how you protest" and more cops killed more innocent minorities. Kaepernick was 3 years ago and people like Brees said "that's not how you protest" and more cops killed more innocent minorities. And this constant refusal to address, or even acknowledge the problems that these protests have been about has led to today.
A little "sorry I was misconstrued" isn't going to cut it.

ah yes the reason why this whole thing never worked. drew brees wasn't leading the black community. now that he is, just like the qb of a football team, racism's days are over!
Fuck this shit. When anyone says "disrespect the flag" it doesn't mean ripping one it half, setting it fire, or using it to wipe your ass. It's broadened to fit whatever neocons want it to mean to rile up the base.
Quietly protesting police brutality during a flag ceremony? Disrespecting the flag.
A child refusing to say "God" during the pledge? Disrespecting the flag.
Driving a car with a "COEXIST" sticker to a war memorial? Disrespecting the flag.
Enjoying a nice salad in a steak restaurant?Disrespecting the flag.

The amount of disappointment this left me with is immeasurable. I'm not even trying to meme. Fucking Drew Brees. God damnit, man. And I don't accept his apology, either. He said what he said and I fully believe he got PR'd into making an apology. The tone deafness in his initial response is unreal. If you don't know the kneeling has nothing to do with the fucking flag or the military, there's no helping you. How can you honor something that has no honor, anyway? Fuck 'em.
Meaningless. You were defiant with your shit, Drew. YOU brought up the flag, not that guy asking you questions about protesting and police brutality. I hope the guys in that locker room see through this lame ass apology.
Too late, Drew, the damage is done. This was a shitty opinion to have years ago and you've picked possibly the worst time ever to bring it back up.
Honestly guys I don't want his apology nor do I believe it is sincere. People got upset and enough was said to force him to apologize he said exactly what he meant. I know we should be forgiving I just don't believe him.
You have to post the photo he chose on Instagram. Lol.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
reminds me of that pokemon gif.
Nobody in Drew's life that he trusts explained to him that "I'm sorry, but I'm the way to fix this, get behind me black people" would not be the way to address this situation.
As a steeler fan I fear this may happen. Ben is really into police and the flag and all that nonsense. He might open his face. Maybe this Brees stuff will make him shut up.
The biggest thing conservatives have in common is a complete lack of shame
"Now, he issued an apology, Skip, but it's meaningless. Because the guys that know he spoke his heart the very first time around."
Damn straight.
God I wish he would just retire. What a fucking pathetic apology. It's a shame because him and the saints played such a big role in my childhood but I hope the whole team takes a knee around him. Also knowing 2020 the saints will win the SB and my heart wont even be in it anymore
Also the Sharpe piece is amazing. He has dome some of the best responses to political issues I've seen on a sports show.

Crocodile tears.
Shannon nailed it as usual.
Lmaoo the picture he chose for his apology is hilarious. He really showed us how not racist he is
I'm at least glad that Pat McAfee's take on this on Youtube was decent. Whenever something like this goes down I have to cringe and brace myself for people I follow to disappoint me.
Nobody was misled by Drew's comments. His comments showed exactly who he is. This is not an apology rather pure deflection.
they've been using Christianity as a shield since America was founded
Nah it's not a about that, the flag is just an excuse to hide behind and not having to be honest about abhorrent opinions and not wishing to be bothered by being slightly inconvenienced about reality not being a fantasy utopia for others like it is for him.
He is so, so good. I wish he would get even more visibility
Im typically not a fan of Skips sports opinions, how does he handle this political stuff? He seems like a good listener here but that might show good judgment more than good stances. How is he replying to these statements when Shannon is done?
Skip is a fantastic takesman and will try to get a rise out of you for sports topics, but I'm not sure I've seen him take a bigoted or insensitive stance on real issues. Bear in mind, I don't watch the show, I just watch clips that bubble up on Reddit or Youtube
I imagine this is the first time in history Skip didn't take the other side.
