I never thought that I would see the day that a modern day sports legend would go after another, but the disparaging comments made by NFL star Drew Brees simply justified the blowback from the NBA’s LeBron James.
In the first comments made by Drew Brees since the murder of George Floyd, the New Orleans Saints quarterback said that he will “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America” in an interview with Yahoo.
Those comments attracted backlash from many, including LeBron James, who said kneeling during the national anthem has “nothing to do with the disrespect of [the United States flag] and our soldiers.”
WOW MAN!! 🤦🏾♂️. Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee?? Has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect of 🇺🇸 and our soldiers(men and women) who keep our land free. My father-in-law was one of those https://t.co/pvUWPmh4s8

Michael Thomas, a teammate of Brees and favorite receiving target, was also not happy with the comments made by his quarterback.
He don’t know no better.

We don’t care if you don’t agree and whoever else how about that.
