Got ya. I wouldn’t have backed Brees up either TBH. I’ll stand with my culture before I stand with a teammate. Their feelings were hurt more than anything else so they lashed out. They love Drew and they took it like it was a knife in the back even though that’s not what it was intended to be. That’s why they tell you to keep politics out of the workplace though. Best friends become enemies real quick.

It’s obviously a tough topic. Both sides have deep personal feelings about it.

Agreed. The world is moving on to the next topic now though. COVID and LGBTQ.

Meanwhile the Saints still need WR and DB help! I’m actually feeling better about the DL and LB groups though from what I’ve read so far. Good play up front goes a long way to helping DBs look good.

I like Prince Amakumara. They could definitely use some help at corner, but I’m look at WR and TE. I’m not opposed to bringing back Brandin Cooks or Kenny Stills. And I think we should trade for a TE as well.

What was "cultural" about Brees's statement? I understood it to be his opinion on military service and the flag.

I think the disconnect is/was in the cultural interpretation of the protest.

And Rez says he'd stand with his "culture." Meaning what? That is divisive talk IMO. What if a white guy wanted "stand with their culture?" They'd be labeled racist.

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic and having love for flag, anthem, country and service members. And it has nothing to do with culture.

And this might be what makes it "The Toilet of Idaho".
