I’m sorry, but it’s stupid.
The “muh anthem” crowd hides behind the “respect the military” angle because they don’t want to admit they disagree with the protestors.
The anthem being played at pro sports games is tacky to begin with. I love it in college sports environments but it really doesn't belong in the for-profit NFL environment. It’s fake, forced, and most importantly is selling out patriotism and the sacrifice of our troops, and people who get mad about the kneeling don’t deserve to claim patriotism because of this.
I don’t think Brees is racist, but I do think he’s afraid of upsetting racist fans, and that’s bad. I hope he comes out and tries to clear this up because that comment was weak.

No it's not. Plenty of people feel that not standing for the flag is disrespectful. That’s their right just as much as anyone that wants to kneel in protest.

Drew Brees has done great in the league and in the community. This doesn't apply to him and frankly is incredibly ignorant directing it his way.

Since when is standing up for what you believe in weak?

No you are the one who is wrong. Drew Brees expressed Drew Brees opinion which is he respects the sacrifices made by others so he has this glorious and wonderful life and career which he doesn't take for granted. And he likely feels a connection to the average fan and paying customer who maybe has sacrificed. And is humble enough to acknowledge there are bigger things in life than playing a kid's game well.
Sorry some people don't get where he is coming from since they are infected with the whole take it for granted, entitled theme like all this just sprang up in a vacuum. A smidge of rationale for the white kids protesting is because they were brought up entitled and without a sense of how all this came to be. And, because of certain factors such as the 8 year Obama economic stagnation and others they hit a wall when they finished their useless degrees in art history.
