It is not about military fathers and grandfathers. It is about the flag. Every citizen has the responsibility to defend the flag.

“ Like one Freeper said in another post, Brees could have made his apology in order to avoid being left wide open by his supposed teammates for a crippling, career-ending tackle. Sometime, the choices that you have really suck.”

Eww.

It’s like saying a soldier had to join the enemy or get hurt.

I am not mad at Brees. I am a combination of sick, disappointed and sad. Kind of like at the end of 1984 when Winston Smith succumbs to the overwhelming societal norms of the day and admits he loves big brother.

Brees is not the one to be persecuted.

Seriously, what’s the aversion to dealing with the head of the snake?

....

He should have kept his mouth shut in the first place! This gutless wonder only weakens our position and emboldens these terrorists! It would’ve been better if he had never taken a position! This criticism of this pussy is justified!

Is LeBron James now the most powerful man in America? He seems to have single-handedly made Brees do this.

“ That’s probably what he would have had to do. Or he’d end his career in a wheelchair after his supposed teammates fed him to the opposing team’s wolves during the big game.”

His career ended as soon as he stood up for the flag. The NFL administration is on the side of the America haters. So are the sponsors

No NFL player can respect himself allowing this to go on but the NFL has sided with the enemy

Same as every viewer supporting the anarchy.

The NFL is done. The moment the administration did not come out and defend the flag.

People just deny it. But it is over. Drew Brees can walk away today, renouncing his cowardice, or he can become a household name -symbol of cowardice and betrayal among Americans if we come out of this widespread attack in one piece.

Ah, but the NFL is not the military, which has courts-martial and penalties up to and including executions. He did what he thought he had to do. He will ultimately have to live with his choices.

And FD, I will never watch the NFL on the Tee Vee again; makes little difference, since I almost never watched them before they went subversive.

Yep, Brees made his choice, now I made mine.

No more NFL.

Like it or not, our society has elevated the court jesters to be the Royalty.

It IS kind of uplifting to think that if most women now regard Brees the way you and Guenevere do, he’s sexually doomed if he’s still a bachelor.

No. He wishes he was just a jerk. He’s done considerable damage whether people deny that or not

I’d like to know when the American flag became a symbol of oppression of black people.

The Left has been advancing that argument for years.

From not having the Pledge said in school to the NFL allowing players to kneel.

They won't be happy until the flag is removed.

Remember that flag they hate is the very flag that affords them the freedom to say the stupid stuff they do.

I would say the whole thing was staged; from the statement to the apology. We all need to be enlightened like Drew was.

Thanks, Drew. You hammered the final nail into the NFL coffin for me.

I think that Brees actually did more damage to the NFL than Kaepernick did.....

I don't think it was just LeBron. Many other black athletes and sports "journalists" rushed out and buried him all over social media.

Look at it another way, he gave in to Groupthink, not to any individual.

First they came for the Confederate Flag.

I was no fan of the Confederacy, but I knew where this was all headed.
