He can never get it right when it comes to Defense.

He can never get it right when it comes to Women...

Yes. I absolutely think it is all over as for any issue between Brees and the others. Do I think the protests are over? Absolutely not.

And there is very little likelihood that there will NOT be a season.

I have personally had serious disagreements with others and have calmly worked things out and mended fences. Most all of us have. Today on NFL Radio Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn were talking about this very subject and both agreed that to a man everyone on that Saints roster knows Brees as being a kind and caring individual and both sounded confident that it was not going to be an issue moving forward. That is the last thing that the general media wants because it doesn't sell clicks.

Best I've heard to date was to simply not play, not take the field, do not take that game check and show true sacrifice and solidarity with ALL people who've been on the business end of police brutality...

I was vehemently against the kneeling at first. I now have no issue with it at all. Today I heard a marine with over 30 years of active and reserve service and he said he fought not only for the rights of those that are opposed to that form of protest, but also for the rights of every American to engage in peaceful protest of any form, including kneeling during the anthem. I have seriously considered what my late father, also a veteran of over 30 years, would have to say about the issue. I have zero doubt he would echo the thoughts of that marine. And this isn't unique. I have heard the same from many military personnel.

Served 20 years. Was a Marine and retired Guard. I have no problem with flag burners, kneeling, KKK, Neo Nazi, BLM, Antifa or any other organization. Just so long as they do not harm anyone physically or financially. I don't like hate groups but if it's not hurting anything other than feelings so what.

What I don't like with these protests is they are blocking streets and impeding essential service like the fire dept from doing their job and EMT. They are breaking the law and should all be arrested.

Right to protest peacefully and freedom of speech are protections from government only. Not your employer

Don't care what one or a few marines feel...

My family raised me with certain values, and that includes ultimate respect for the flag and the anthem...

My family has made the ultimate sacrifices at the Altar of Freedom so we can have enjoy liberties, and kneeling when we're to be showing respect for those who gave will never, ever work for me or my family...

You want my family to be more vocal and supportive, find another way...

Their employers are giving them the okay. Carry on.

And that is your right as an American, as well.
