Drew Brees addressed President Trump on Friday night after the president criticized him for backing down from his anthem stance. In a statement posted on Twitter, Brees told the president that the anthem protests were “not about the flag,” and that “we as a white community” need to listen and learn from the suffering of the “black communities.”
On Wednesday, Brees had said that he would never agree with anyone who would “disrespect” the flag by kneeling during the national anthem. That stance brought forth a torrent of criticism that eventually persuaded Brees to apologize twice over the next 36 hours.
That flip-flop caused President Trump to tweet at Brees on Friday afternoon, criticizing him for backing down:

Sounds like Winston Smith to me
Yes, it is!
I’ve been thinking and I want to post this elsewhere. GOD made each of us in HIS image, black, white, yellow, red, brown. Why should anyone denounce the race God intended them to be?
Done ranting.
Guess the kneeling at the same time as the Flag being displayed is a mere coincidence.
“we as a white community” need to listen and learn from the suffering of the “black communities.”
Why
So making a statement like that can further objectify them?
There is nothing and no one who will stop them from their aspirations.
But, you gotta have aspirations
My GAS meter for all things NFL went out of calibration several years ago so I figured this Brees guy has made his bed and now can live with his choice.
What a cuck. From patriot to SJW in one day.
He is dumber than dirt if he thought he would be able to get away with what he said or that he would have the guts to withstand it.
Drew, you silly man.....It’s ALL ABOUT THE FLAG!!!!!.....FREEDOM!
All he needed to do was to resign in the face of their threats. He doesn’t need the money.

If it’s not about the flag then why disrespect it?
I said in my post “ruin his future”. I am not talking about money, but “where do I go to get my reputation back?”
no such thing as "communities" ...
everyone is a unique individual ...
sick of groupthink ... it is dangerous ...
Actually, with Brees, I believe it’s all about money.
He basically doesn’t want his receivers to develop butter fingers.If they do he knows that *he* will be blamed.
Brees told the president that “we as a white” need to listen and learn from the...the “black”
When I was growing up were taught what Dr. King said, judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. We weren’t supposed to even mention skin color. Now everyone is white this, we need a black that. Everything is backwards.
He sounds like a pussy, Jim.
Brees may not know it, but he is a grave-digger for the NFL.
