Here is what I hope ... it would be great if we cross racial lines on this issue. Meaning at least one of our black Saints aligns with Drew and says he also can't get behind kneeling during the anthem, and likewise at least one of our white Saints kneels during the anthem because the feeling of alienation moves him to do so.

We've got a strong locker room, and as soon as the cleats hit the field we'll find a way to bring the humility and comradery back.
Very good points.

Glad Brees stated his resolve, and considering what he's done for this franchise, this state and the unfortunate in his community, the rest of the supporting cast can go f*ck themselves if he won't conform to their politics...

Even Obama's approval ratings were in the 40%. Can't make everyone happy no matter what you say. Who cares.

Yep. Nothing he said was rude or controversial. If they want to be offended by it then that's their choice. They've all behaved wildly inappropriately at this point and owe Drew a HUGE apology, both privately and publicly. He is a living legend and seemingly a great person and they are attempting to assassinate his character. If they don't walk this **** back quickly they will come to regret it.

No reason Chicago should have over 200 gun murders this year. It's out of control and has been for a long long time. Nobody does or says anything. We have to stop the senseless loss of black youth. We can deal with racism but the real loss of black lives is on black lives killing black lives.

Retired Army Veteran... When the National anthem is played the Correct protocol is standing with hand over your heart or saluting the flag ... Period ... Standing with Drew... And For all who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom that can no longer standoff themselves.

In before the media writes us off and says we have no chance because we don't agree. Then we go and beat the brakes off the Bucs. It will be like angry married couple make up sex (with a cat in tow)

Hope you're right man, but if they don't resolve this it's gonna cause issues. Brees may not be so willing to put it all on the line for a bunch of guys who stabbed him in the back. And these entitled children sure aren't likely to go out of their way to help a guy who so cruelly hurt their feelings through no fault of his own. Shame too because this was already going to be a tough year with the abbreviated offseason. Drew is nearing the end and I really wanted to see him go out on top. I'm afraid this will derail any hope of that happening.

Thanks for that cat gif Neugey, I'll bet Forever Fan is smiling down on you for keeping up the tradition.
