He should not have caved. What he stands for is right and I honestly think he believed what he said. Now, because of pressure from others, he’s bent his beliefs and I find that extremely sad. I think Brees is one of the good guys and if the people of NO are stupid enough to think otherwise, that’s on them. I just hope he repairs his internal damage and let’s the public remain ignorant as to what’s really going on in this country.
I suspect he realized he could back down OR be seriously injured in a game - very seriously. I’m not happy about him backing down, but I won’t have a bunch of very big, very strong haters looking to cripple me for life because of my beliefs. If I had been him, I’d probably have just kept my mouth shut.
Not very heroic of me, but Brees would be very vulnerable...
