No, he's a racist. Do you think a QB can be so fucking dumb to say that shit after spending his whole life in a sport dominated by African Americans? After what Colin Kaepernick and others took a knee, and everything that happened after that? He knows what he said and why he said. He was only dumb because he didn't expect the level of heat that came down on him as a result of it. He showed the sort of person he is and always will be. Apologies are just papering over the truth.
Brees has an opportunity to potentially save a little face here if he comes out strong denouncing trump.
He plays for New Orleans Saints and he is rather tone-deaf to what everything is going on, shame
his teammate responds, everybody watch it-
Brees' true feelings are what he said first. Whatever carefully crafted, bullshit apology he and his PR team came up with after calculating how much money he'd lose is bullshit. Drew Bree's is a 41 year old man who has spent the last 20 years playing football alongside predominately black teammates, playing a good chunk of that in a city with so much african-american culture and history, and developed so little empathy for the plight of african americans in that time that his first reaction to the outrage and protests over a black man being MURDERED by cops is to cape for the flag says everything you need to who he truly is as a person. He's a fucking clown. Fuck him.

Yeah hes so predictable.
Welp, any chance Drew had to let this slide just got blown up by his pal Trump.
Brees is now in a position where if he does kneel with his black teammates, he's going to get blasted by Trump. But if he stands, then it's going to be seen as supporting a racist leader. Not that I feel sorry for him.
