    Drew Brees receives intense backlash from star athletes after remarks about protesting during national anthem.

    https://www.foxnews.com/sports/drew-brees-backlash-protesting-national-anthem-remarks

    So now you are a bad guy for not disrespecting the American Flag ?????

    Lebron James in a hypocritical protester.
    He doesn't criticize China, because they put money in his pocket, but he rips on a guy who does not want to disrespect the American flag.

    Thoughts ?

    I support his right to stand and his teammates right to kneel.

    People are growing tired of “let’s just pretend everything is ok” — it isn't.

    I happen to agree with you on this issue.

    Although I still think Lebron is a hypocrite.
    Why didn’t he stand with Hong Kong?

    Most people care much more deeply about issues that impact them, their families and state / nation than they do people that live on the other side of the world. Many of these issues are hitting very close to home for many people.

    The people criticizing Drew are anti-American loons.

    They want to destroy a guy who said he wouldn’t disrespect the U.S.? Crazy stuff.

    Ditto that...

    If Brees wants to proudly stand for the anthem, that's great for him. I do too...

    It's destroying the country. Violence, lack of accountability, leftist culture and entitlement. It is a big issue.

    Nothing Brees said was wrong, and he shouldn't have backed down to the cry-bullies.

    Freedom of speech works both ways...

    Drew Brees receives intense backlash from star athletes after remarks about protesting during national anthem.

    And then received it again when he apologized for it. Don't people understand how it works on the internet?

    To say you support both supposes that you know the meanings (or symbolism, if you'd rather) of their gestures. In the case of standing for the flag, the meaning is clearly patriotism and unity with your country. In the case of kneeling, the meaning is vague, highly inaccurate bullshit that advocates disunity, chaos, and is strongly anti-patriotic and, if I may say so, unAmerican. So, how you can support kneeling? Reach out and enlighten me.

    i think I saw this on South Park.
    I want to see in stadiums for now on, the announcer say "Now please sit, kneel or stand for the National Anthem" take all the wind out of the whiners protests.

    Drew Brees has a right to his opinion, but liberal group think says no to that. He said nothing bad, at all, nothing.

    I think you can both respect the flag and debate law enforcement procedures at the same time:

    He apologized. How does he play football without a spine?

    When I heard he apologized for something, I thought he must have really put his foot in it.

    But this is just more insane liberal bullying of the "Trump is Hitler!!!" variety.

    And Kap is a useless little prima donna - a complete tool.

    Broke my heart. He made an especially touching point in the initial statement about his WWII Vet grandfathers. Then he caved under the pressure. I am sure all players will be encouraged to take a knee next season, and when then do the NFL ratings will totally tank.

    Because those people feel they are not represented.
    We don’t live in N Korea, we don’t have to worship at the flag.

    This blind respect for all things red white and blue or your are a traitor is absolutely absurd.

    Black people have been told to protest peacefully.
    They are berated for kneeling
    They are berated for marching
    They are berated for picketing

    While white people were cheered as heros for shutting down statehouses through armed protest.

    If you cannot find enlightenment by yourself on this issue I doubt I can give it to you.

    The only traitors are the people demanding anyone behave a certain way or they are “unAmerican” — fascist even.

    Black people are responsible for the overwhelming majority of the rioting and looting.

    That is a fact !

    Source for your “fact”?
    Preferably one with data and figures using verifiable metrics, stormfront doesn’t count nor do random images.

    How could a guy be around young black men and not know they're getting hassled by the police?

    What? Why would he know blacks were "getting hassled by the police"? Is that something whites are suppose to be born with, or what? Do you think everyone has their noses stuck to the TV news looking for bad things?

    Eye tests don’t lie !
    The MSM does

    Look at any video of the violence.
    The overwhelming majority were black.

    I challenge you to provide any rioting or looting videos that show blacks as the minority in the
    Looting.

    There are 100’s to choose from, so good luck.
