So do actions. Like actually doing them, not just saying you did them.

Drew Brees wrote a lengthy apology posted on Instagram Thursday morning after telling Yahoo “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country” when asked about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.

Re: Jake Fromm Drew Brees.
Black athletes are valued for their bodies and athletic skills. We expect them to stick to sports. You know, “shut up and dribble.” White athletes, well, we care about their minds, too. We value what they have to say. Example below.

It’s a fucked up country, and sports does a pretty damn good job of showing us just how we value some more than we value others.

Brees comment was just plain dumb to make at this time.

Fromm said he supports guns but only if they're really expensive so only elite white people can afford them. Said it in a text message that was revealed today.

Re: Jake Fromm Drew Brees.
all I'm saying is, before you hit "Send", read it a few times and ask yourself if it's worth it at that point, or ever. Just think about it from all angles. I know one thing, I've thought a text was funner as I was writing it than when I hit send. Funny doesn't always come off in print. As far as Brees, he certainly has the right to say what he said. Not arguing that at all. I wonder if it was worth it to hi now? We can get into a philosophical discussion about what the flag means or whatever, that's not my point. Understand that your words matter. If you have faith in them, then you shouldn't have to apologize for them. If you apologize for them, you maybe don't understand: Words matter. I bet they do now.

I mean I know texts aren't private but you kind of take some assumption that they are. Seems shitty to have them released. Yes I know texts aren't really private.

Nothing wrong with it other than the fact that the kneeling was never about disrespecting the flag or the troops, as Brees was surely aware.

You’re referring to Norvell, right? He got in trouble with some players on his team because he posted something that implied he’d had a talk with every player on the team about what’s happening right now. One of the team captains called him out and said that was bs and all the players got was the same text to all of them, that the coach was making it sound more than what it was. Some players did in fact reach out to the coach, but Norvell didn’t talk to each player. He apologized for wording it that way and gave praise to the player who called him on it.
The text itself seemed good to me, except the coach admits he’s texting and driving.

Yeah that’s what I was taking about. Clearly I don’t agree with Pantry.

Re: Jake Fromm Drew Brees.
so I read that Brees apologized for his insensitivity, how he 'completely missed the mark' on racial issues we're facing as a country.
on one hand, good for him. I appreciate his self-reflection, etc. On the other hand, he's gotta be at least of average intelligence. How can someone, especially someone surrounded by African American teammates his entire life, be so disconnected and tone deaf?
which makes me wonder, is he really remorseful for the words he initially spoke or is this now damage control for his reputation?
I don't know.. dude certain has the right to say and think whatever he says and thinks. I'm just left to wonder what the real Drew Brees thinks.

He can certainly protest. It's just really clear he doesn't understand what Kaepernick was protesting. I doubt you do either.
Hint: it wasn't the flag or the military

100% damage control. It's obvious what Brees thinks.

you can't really screech "TROOPS"! and "AMERICA"! one day and the next day proclaim to be in tune with systemic racism that is tightly woven through the fabric of America that you claimed to adore just 24 hours ago.

Good for her - I love seeing high profile people finally taking a public stand.

Apparent our racist, bigoted christian leader who hatbors contempt for traditional American values came out with a statement whining about Americans who peacefully protest.
Apparently, you can only kneel when you're doing so while choking the life out of a black person.

‘member when the Saints got in trouble for putting bounties on opposing players? ‘member? That was really cool. Drew Brees is gonna find out that was nothing compared to what he’s going to experience.

Many people are saying Trump supporters are racist. That's just what I've heard. Many people. Who knows? Maybe...maybe not. But many people are saying it.
Sound familiar?

Look up Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina. I'd gladly vote for him after Trump wins the next election.
