Drew Brees was right in what he said and should not have apologized.
+1
Not sure if serious
Yes, I’m serious. Which part are you having heartburn with?
Suggesting the end of a respectful tradition a majority of fans
want that demeans no one because of hateful militant employees
who don’t want it , a minority who either hates
this country or doesn’t understand it is the
height of idiocy.
