Drew Brees tweeted that the team will kneel as a team on Sunday in London.
Just doubling down on stupid in case any fans missed it the first time.
I know nothing about football, but have American teams always played in London? Seems odd.
They should get on their knees and Thank God they live in a country where they get paid 150 mil to throw a football around..I wonder how many of these buffoons ever put on an apron to help feed the homeless, Im guessing NONE
“That is out outrageous on foreign soil.”
Brings to mind the trips Obama made overseas to trash talk America.
I have been a Saints fan for about 40 years. Or should I say, I was...
Pittsburgh area is selling a sports t-shirt: Villanueva Leads The Way, with a big 78, black and gold colors. I bought mine at Shop n Save, five bucks. Yes, he was forced by his team to give an interview where he seemed to do a Mea Culpa. Bottom line, he was the only one who stood for the anthem last Sunday, and he’s a war hero.
I thought Drew Brees was better than this How disappointing. I guess it’s more important to be down with the brothers than with your country.
In his position, it is certainly safer.
That’s not entirely true. They will kneel BEFORE the anthem, then stand when the anthem is played.
Just got an email from a veterans group and they are calling for huge boycott of everything NFL on November 12. Stay tune this growing.
They are going to stand for the anthem. They will kneel BEFORE the anthem.
The person posting this did not print the whole statement. They will kneel BEFORE the anthem, and stand for the anthem.
He didn’t say they would lock arms.
They will be standing for the anthem. Read Drew’s whole statement. The poster only posted part of his statement.
They will be standing for the anthem and the flag.
Saints on their knees in London, Grindr goes wild in London!
It all comes from the top. It’s not Brees team. It’s not Paytons team.
It’s Tom Bensons. What Benson should’ve done is issued a blunt order for his team to stand respectfully for the anthem. End of story
Is that recent? Looks like a pic after Andrew...
Beyoncé is too fat to dress like that.
Nah, Brees made the statement and he, more so than any other team I’ve observed, is the true leader of the team and a huge member of the community. This is on him. He didn’t have to join the protest. He could have been a true leader and stood by his convictions. Instead, like Jerry Jones, he went against what I’m sure are his true beliefs and sucked up to the brothers. Pure cowardice.
