If Brees were a member of FR, would you allow him to express his opinion here? Or would you intsist that he “Shut up and throw the ball”? I never expected a “freeper” would criticize patriotic speech by a celebrity. If he is to be criticized it should be for his “bowing the knee” to BLM and ANTIFA after being criticized by the left.
If he had said nothing, we would not be talking about how he caved. He had to know he would get serious blowback right at the time of the George Floyd riots. He is either a complete prickless coward, or not very bright. It is absolutely ridiculous to make a "patriotic speech" one day and then completely disavow it the next day. Now he has gone from standing up for the flag to joining those that want to trample on it.
Had he said nothing, more people would have thought better of him than they do now. Now blacks will see him as a rascist who needs educating, and patriotic Americans see him as a coward.
