If he came out and knelt like a pussie you would have a new hero. fake ass punk. I never said it was wrong. He has a right to say whatever he wants. I was just surprised, that's all.

Meglamaniac 380 Posted June 4, 2020 6 minutes ago, The Observer said: I would have just thought he was smarter and would use better judgement. He shares a locker room and a league with a high percentage of black people. He really chooses the most racially charged time of our lives to speak out against the african americans who knelt for black justice? Seems like an unforced error. You are sure asserting a lot of 'your opinion' into what Brees said. Fact is he never mention anything about color or race, he didn't specify anyone in particular, he simply stated how he felt about people kneeling during the NA. His exact words Brees had said he would "never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag." "And is everything right with our country right now? No, it's not," Brees said in the interview. "We still have a long way to go. But I think what you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart, is it shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together, we can all do better, and that we are all part of the solution." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And says it at a time where those same people are currently fighting for the same. Again, Brees is entitled to his opinion. And so is every black player that feels disrespected. Very dumb thing to say in his position, but certainly one he had a right to express Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it is the hardcore black community that is now the judge and jury on anything said. If you dont bend and kiss the ring completely right now then you are drug through the mud. Because he didnt totally jump on their wagon he now is a POS. Doesnt matter what hes actually done for the black community or the fact he said we need to unify.
