After Drew Brees apologized multiple times last week for suggesting that NFL players who kneeled during the national anthem disrespected the country, his wife apologized as well.
Brittany Brees posted a lengthy message on Instagram that featured two quotes from Martin Luther King: in the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends, and, Not only will we have to repent for the sins of bad people, but we also will have to repent for the appalling silence of good people.
Her own comments started with Brees writing, WE ARE THE PROBLEM.
***SNIP***
Thats the problem we are not listening, white America is not hearing. Were 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. Its our job to educate ourselves. We are sorry.

"
They have been threatened. This is all about their childrens safety rather than their own reputations. Drew should be a man and announce his retirement from a league that has put him in such an unsafe predicament. Then he can move to a safer environment for himself and his wife and children. Trying to maintain his pro career at the expense of his core values is a tragic mistake"Interesting post.

In support of affirmative action, Drew Brees should resign and retire and let a POC take his place. The Saints executives and coaches should resign and let POC take their place.

Eff the NFL.

He has given New Orleans charities over $5 million Watch for the shakedown to happen now. Some spokesman for BLM will suggest that if Brees is truly sorry, he will give generously to various BLM-approved charities. Give till it hurts, Drew.

He stepped in it. Now both sides have contempt for him. Just go away, Brees. How can we be expected to respect you when ou didn’t respect yourself enough to stand up for your convictions?

There is no way that fat chick is with the fbi.
I admit I could be wrong, but I just dont see it.
Looks like the typical fat white chick who has a bunch of little black-white babies by multiple Mandingos who spread their seed everywhere like a John Deere farm implement.

when we do stuff like this guy.
To: Lagmeister
Outside the stadiums since they cannot afford the tickets. Well the NFL will become good little cucks and allow a certain percentage of blacks to attend the games for free. Heck, they'll probably give the BLM folks their own Stadium Suite.

She is right. They are part of the problem ...just not in the way she thinks she is.
To: SmokingJoe
“He got his wife to grovel too?”
It looks as if the Brees family is short on judgement or long on stupid.
Don’t they talk to each other?
Wouldn’t you run a thought or statement by your spouse before you made it to the World?
In neither case was there any consideration of the results of opening the big mouth in public.
They will pay dearly for their poor judgement.

She is right about one thing.
She is the problem, and so is her husband.

I'm not sorry George Floyd died. He should have died the day he put a gun against a pregnant woman's abdomen and pistol whipped her while his thug buddies robbed her house. If a cop unlawfully killed him, then he should go to jail, but let's leave it to a jury to decide. Or do we just execute people based on the will of the mob now?
