    I applaud Brees and the principled defense of his future product endorsements

    You disrespect the flag every time you claim peaceful protest is Un-American. The flag represents that right most of all. To claim otherwise is the essence of being anti American and anti liberty.

    So in the end, not only did Colin Kaepernick get millions and millions in ad money, he also won the argument.

    Goodbye trumpers. Your day has passed.

    A lot of people in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore and New Orleans will shoot you if you disrespect them.

    I stopped watching football after week 3 of the kneeling, that means I haven't seen a game in 3 years. How can I watch a game where the players intentionally insult me and other patriotic Americans. And here's the kicker, in pro sports, you can bash, America and white people, but god help you if you say something about Obama, Muslims, gays, and especially blacks.

    The left is absolutely and perfectly fine with kneeling for the American anthem and burning the American flag, but if you call the china virus the china virus, that's racist.

    I support you not watching TV.
    Seeing that the NFL just announced that they support players kneeling, the NHL and NBA have put out statements of support, and numerous other athletic organizations have done the same — could I recommend maybe taking up crocheting?

    Spineless wimps, giving in to radicals with sick, twisted values.

    I’ll take up golf again. That’s better than sitting in front of the TV.

    Yeh, either that or you are on the wrong side of all of this.

    I’ve never cared about other people’s opinions of me. I’m not insecure.

    I know favoring one race over another is wrong.

    The crux of Republicans everywhere, “screw everyone else as long as I get mine.”

    I agree with this completely.
    Unfortunately skin color changes the way people are treated. Especially by the law.

    What a country we live in where speaking positively about it is now something to be ashamed of. We’ll never survive when those controlling most of our media are ashamed to live here.

    I was going to suggest a nice little deck boat. I bought a jet ski myself.

    In more ways than one. With affirmative action and hate crime laws, things are tilted away from whites.

    You do realize how whiny you sound right?
    Come on, sinces we're on the subject of sports. The NFL is around 80% black but how many black owners and how many black commissioners? The same can be said about the NBA. What about MLB. Whites still have the power man! Lol
    Hell it was the same white guys that voted to keep Donald Trump from getting a NFL team.

    Hate crime laws only impact people that have committed a crime with a foundation that exists because of another's group classification, so unless white people are suddenly unable to control themselves against harming others I don’t see how anything is “tilted away from whites”. Affirmative action is absolutely unjust, but according to the last few reports I have read it most negatively impacts asains and most heavily benefits white women — so again, I don’t see how it is “tilted away from whites”.

    That victim complex must be blinding.

    Watching Brees backtrack on all this has been pretty entertaining. The pandering statements hes been putting out are laying on the virtue signaling so thick that he must have had his manager hire a rent-a-woke to write it for him.

    Ha!

    Kap was sulk kneeling because he's a toxic narcissist & figured he'd pretend it was something more noble.

    Brees is a bit better than that, but endorsements are endorsements!

    Lazy collectivists think in terms of groups and group rights. We’re a nation of individuals, not groups.
