They were able to talk personally yesterday and have apparently found common ground. People tend to react to extremes quickly these days. Brees is the same man he was one week ago. For anyone to say that they have lost respect for him forever is pretty shallow thinking.
And those haters are the media, Mike. They are the ones that fan the flames and feed the fire. |

That is not going to get fixed playing us vs them. Cops shoot and kill 1000 people a year (documented statistic). Given the level of stress involved in those situations I assume at the very least 5% error. That is 50 innocent people killed every year. Since 2007 only 35 cops have been convicted of a bad shooting. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with Americans fighting with each other rather than their government. That is not going to get fixed playing us vs them. If you want to call me liberal for not being sucked into a false dichotomy... That is fine by me, the liberals call me Alt-Right for the same reason. I am comfortable on my island of clarity and peace. Its like watching two kids fight over an ice cream while a rabid dog licks the cone clean. |

Truth be told, I am as happy to be called liberal as you are seeing someone kneel for the national anthem. Yet here we are, still speaking civilly and you somehow rethought that statement without me telling you to go %&^K your self. Cooler heads have prevailed? |

Good to see the discussions on here...
Some I don't agree with, others I do, but I value everyone expressing their opinion. I see some people calling for posters to be banned. Regardless of what there post is, I hope we don't start going that rout. Freedom of speech is important to me, even if I disagree with what they say. |
