Drew Brees’ wife Brittany penned an emotional message Friday on Instagram, stating “WE ARE THE PROBLEM,” a day after the Saints quarterback offered a second apology over his national anthem remarks in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

“WE ARE THE PROBLEM,” Brittany began. “I write this with tears in my eyes and I hope you all hear our hearts.”

WE ARE THE PROBLEM . I write this with tears in my eyes and I hope you all hear our hearts. I have read these quotes and scripture 1000 times and every time I read it and the words sink into my heart. I think yes this is what it’s all about...Only until the last few days ,until we experienced the death threats we experienced the hate… Did I realize that these words were speaking directly to us.. how could anyone who knows us or has had interactions with us think that Drew or I have a racist bone in our body? But that’s the whole point . Somehow we as white America, we can feel good about not being racist, feel good about loving one an another as God loves us. We can feel good about educating our children about the horrors of slavery and history. We can read books to our children about Martin Luther King, Malcolm X., Hank Aaron, Barack Obama, Rosa parks, Harriet Tubman.. and feel like we are doing our part to raise our children to love , be unbiased and with no prejudice. To teach them about all of the African Americans that have fought for and risked their lives against racial injustice. Somehow as white Americans we feel like that checks the box of doing the right thing. Not until this week did Drew and I realize THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. To say “I don’t agree with disrespecting the flag “.. I now understand was also saying I don’t understand what the problem really is, I don’t understand what you’re fighting for, and I’m not willing to hear you because of our preconceived notion‘s of what that flag means to us. That’s the problem we are not listening, white America is not hearing. We’re not actively LOOKING for racial prejudice. We have heard stories from men and women we have known and loved for years about the racism that occurred in their lives .. stories that were never shared or talked about because somehow they were considered normal. To all of our friends and anyone we hurt ...we will do better.. We want to do better , we want to HEAR you, and we will fight for you because thinking we are not part of the problem...is checking the box it means we are are not doing enough. It’s our job to educate ourselves. We are sorry 🙏🏻 -Brittany Brees

Disappointing.

I predict a drop of 10 to 20% in white viewership, and also in sales of high-markup NFL merchandise.

You can tell who your rulers are by whom you are not permitted to criticize.

[shelterguy]

What ever you say, Karen.

[Lysandru]

No, you were threatened because of hate.

“WE ARE THE PROBLEM,” Brittany began.”

She’s more right than she knows.

[Meatspace]

Or, to put it more succinctly, Drew’s Offensive Line could be a problem.

[Huskrrrr]

Get a grip, honey.

[NohSpinZone]

OMFG, please shut up. You’re woke, we get it. Go away!

[Artcore]

She’s as gutless as that loser she calls her husband! My guess is she sees a potential economic hit to their way of life!

Losers both!

[jetson]

Well that answers it. It’s his wife. PW.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The problem is gutless people like you who are afraid of criticism from leftist crybullies and back off their beliefs at the first sign of trouble.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep.

[heartwood]

Goes both ways, Mrs. Brees.

If Black Lives Matter and all the media on their bandwagon cared anything at all about Tony Timpa, knew he existed, and protested his death at the hands and suffocating knees of the police in 2016, George Floyd might be alive today.

[Pearls Before Swine]

The body politic needs a dose of polite white pride.

I predict a drop of 10 to 20% in white viewership ...

If this happens, it will be very temporary. Good luck convincing conservative white Texans to stay away from the NFL. College football doesn't play on Sunday/Monday.

Sorry, Drew. Your “mommy”, by attempting to appear even weaker than you have become, is not going to be able to bail you out of your simpering acquiesence to the latest mob ... at least among American men.
