Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
Brees isn't done. You give too little respect for the integrity of players like Demario Davis and Malcolm Jenkins. Davis has already come out praising Brees' leadership in admitting to making a mistake. I have little doubt Jenkins, and the rest of the team, will do the same. This is an opportunity for ALL involved to learn something new.
At first I was one of those that didn't get the kneeling action during the anthem, but I have since learned that players that kneel have the right to do just that as Americans and I no longer have an issue with it at all. I feel Brees is learning that more and more Americans are feeling the same way. Good people do and say stupid things every day. Good people also forgive those that do and say stupid things, especially if they can learn from their mistakes. |

Thomas and Jenkins have both shared in the last hour that they have accepted Brees' apology and are ready to move forward, just as had Davis early.

Jenkins can suck a fat one. He went on a tirade against Drew. He owes Drew an even bigger apology, and it had better be very public. Otherwise he can get ****ed.

It's not for you or any of us to demand how Jenkins should apologize or even if he should apologize to Brees. That is personal between the two of them. It is none of our business, to be honest.

If only players, fans and media also took this rational attitude before demanding public apologies for Brees sharing his opinion. I guess better late than never.

Your double standard is showing. |

It was not addressed to you, me or any other individual. Therefore, any apology is only applicable to those two individuals.![]()
There is no double standard whatsoever. |
