Yah. He was having teammates call him out on twitter, video postings, etc.
A lot of ways to repair that stuff without caving...
Maybe in the open dialogue he had with friends, teammates, POC, he changed his thoughts and feelings. At the very least, these protests have led to a lot of meaningful conversations between people that may not have occurred otherwise. I can't speak for Drew though.

RE: Drew Brees
you had to know that once his own teammates started taking shots at him, the apology was coming.

He already spent his entire career working intimately with the poor black communities of New Orleans, including the aftermath of Katrina.
The last thing in the world this is really about is new dialogue or him "opening his eyes" to poor minorities.
That is such a blatantly obvious truth though that I suspect its beyond your comprehension at this point. Even if you could comprehend it you would never acknowledge it because it doesn't fit your Marxist narrative.

Sure Jan. When you're ready to have a respectful dialogue I might proffer some replies. Until then, you'll continue to be ignored.

You're going to ignore everyone in the world who disagrees with you or doesn't share your twisted world view.
Thanks for illustrating my point.

We are rapidly becoming nazi Germany in the 1930's.

RE: Drew Brees
Very disappointing to see Brees cower to peer pressure. He was right the first time. It is disrespectful to kneel during the anthem. That said, I understand why some may choose to do it. You shouldn't have to submit to one way or the other and get destroyed if you don't do what the mob wants.

RE: Drew Brees
I would never apologize. Very sad he caved.
I wouldn't worry about what the players do this season because I don't even think there'll be a season - 2nd wave coming.
I'm honestly surprised they still play the National Anthem prior to games.

RE: Drew Brees
Meanwhile the elephant in the room is ignored. When will the black community take a hard look at themselves? When will they ask themselves what they might could do to improve their situation? I hear talk of dignity and respect. Those are earned not handed out by some leftist cucks.
Earn it. Sorry to speak the truth so bluntly. If Mr Floyd had not been breaking the law, intoxicated on drugs and resisting arrest he would never had been killed by an out of control cop.
Pick new black community leaders. Pick those that hold their community to a high standard. Pick those that demand their community be educated and disciplined. Pick those that help families stay together. Pick those that don’t blame others. Invest in your children. Reject the drug culture. Reject violence. Quit killing each other at alarming rates. This is the only answer for the black community. All other paths will only yield more misery.
Edit: Do not misunderstand what I’m saying. Many, many black people have earned the highest respect and dignity. They did not do it by blaming some outside force for their failures.

Yes. Yes. Yes. The Nazi's rose to power because there was extreme pressure to conform and Germans were afraid to speak up. The libs call Republicans fascists and yet they are mimicking the rise of the Nazi's.
This is the lesson we are here on Earth to learn. Take a stand. Jesus disciples failed to stand up for him. Germans failed to take a stand against Hitler. Europe failed to take a stand against the Nazi's (appeasement).
It goes on and on.
I just left a job as Finance person at a major university because I discovered that a professor had been stealing from the university I worked for, for years and years. He was a leading researcher so the University had known about it and white washed it forever. It involved using student labor for a private business and the misuse of Federal funds. They was so much pressure on me to look the other way. I reported the sob. The university did nothing. I gave myself a 20k pay cut just to get out of there.
I don't regret it. I did the right thing. I took a stand and I can look myself in the mirror.
People need to stand up for what they believe w/out counting the cost.
Don't conform to a sick society.

I’d imagine now the ones who don’t take a knee will be trashed by the media & Twitter dorks. Telling ya that the narrative will be crafted that those who are patriotic are racist. We already know the libs hate America and want to change it, this is just one more step along the way
