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. |

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.

Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
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
