Drew Brees' Instagram Message To President Trump
Instagram ^ | June 5, 2020 | Drew Brees

To @realdonaldtrump

Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It has never been. We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities.

We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform. We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history! If not now, then when?

We as a white community need to listen and learn from the pain and suffering of our black communities. We must acknowledge the problems, identify the solutions, and then put this into action. The black community cannot do it alone. This will require all of us.

>> We as a white community need to ...

BS. I’m part of the American community.

Brees is gone — the new kneeocon

But who didn’t see this coming the minute he initially expressed regard for the Flag.

Screw ‘em all, let the NFL go down in flames.

They are on their way.

70% of NFL Films and NFL Network employees have been laid off.

Just one more reason for me to not watch the NFL. Haven't watched a single game since the debut of the Kneelers..

Democrats ruin everything.

Systemic racism...

Democrat mayors and city councils

Democrat reps of urban districts

Democrat senators, state and national

Democrat governors, LT governors and AGs

Democrat judges, DAs, and city lawyers

Democrat run Big Tech

Democrat run Big Retail Democrat run Big Media and Entertainment

Democrat run schools and colleges

Democrat social policy for 55 years...

I am starting to see their point about the “systemic” part.

Trump called him out after he apologized, on Twitter. that is why he is addressing back. Good to see a dialog.

I’ve now become a fully committed Vikings fan.

May they ruin yet another Saints season.

The left owns sports and the corporate world. These jocks like Brees are their porch monkeys now. They’ll all take a knee before every game or they won’t play. There was a MLS soccer player cut today because of something his wife wrote on the internet. It’s that bad now.

For nearly fifty year’s I’ve been a Cowboys fan. For two years after Jerrah unceremoniously fired Tom Landry I refused to watch any Cowboy games.

I am MORE furious now. I will NEVER watch another game for the rest of my life.

They can kneel, or sit and spin on their index finger.

The NFL is dead to me!!

It’s funny, actually. Watching all the white athletes and script readers falling all over themselves showing us how black they are. Meanwhile, they receive more money in one year than 75% of the U.S. population will EARN in their entire lifetime. Funnier still is all the Karens and Nancy-boys lapping it all up like the good little sheeple that they are.

I hope they have skills other than blocking and running because the NFL will be going down even faster.

I confess - I “listened and learned” and I stole it.

has he turned his wife over yet?

I think you owe me for a new keyboard over your double-entendre. Thanks for the laugh!
