So its OK for the players to demand an apology for what they deem offensive.

Kneeling during the anthem is a hell of a lot more offensive to a hell of a lot more people.

Seems to me the insensitive party in this debate are the players that kneel during what many people hold dear. Its insulting and its intentional.

The players can shove it their ass. GFY!

True leadership is Demario Davis.

Did he like what Brees said? No, but he explained Drew missed the point as a whole and explained how his words were perceived.

Did he go on a twitter tirade, telling Brees to shut the **** up like Jenkins or post cryptic one word tweets like Thomas and Sanders? Also no, because he has integrity and knows how to handle things in the correct way.

I get that Jenkins and Thomas and a large majority of the sporting world were unhappy with Brees, but Drew has apologised and it sounded sincere. What doesn't help is people screaming at each other over social media and causing rifts. Racists want to pit the whole world against each other.

He went to hold her and she looked at him and said, "I'm sorry. I think I'm about to die." She didn't have any chance. It apparently happened so quickly,' King told the outlet.

I was literally not provided service for having no shirt and no shoes, even though the sign said “no shirt, no shoes, no service.” But that’s beside the point.

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

It’s all about the opinion that is popular at the moment. With social media the way it is it changes daily.
You oppose riots and you’re labeled a racist
You choose to protest by kneeling and you’re labeled anti American.
There is no middle ground anymore.
The only thing that will truly defeat racism is a complete change in thinking. When Floyd was murdered for the first time in history I saw conservatives, liberals, 2nd amendment and self defense advocates, police officers and everyone else who saw that video agree that it was nothing short of murder. Peoples minds started changing and people could see that the struggles of black Americans are very very real. White america was finally open to admitting the problem is much bigger than they thought.
Then the riots started as peoples minds were just beginning to change. The riots just reinforced the belief in those who think black people bring it upon themselves. Condoning the riots didn’t help an already volatile situation.
I have heard the names Brees, Thomas, Kamara, Jenkins, etc so many times in the last 72 hours I can’t even count but one name I never hear anymore is George Floyd. I have seen and heard finger pointing and have heard people demand change but I haven’t heard a single person offer a solution.
This is a conversation that needs to be had. What is it that I can do as a white American to help “fix” this problem? Please educate me so I can educate others. What can be done? What can we do together as a country?
If someone from the black community can come up with a rational and realistic solution without going to some radical extreme I want to hear it and want to be a part of it. All I hear is how white people arent listening, well I’m listening. Racism is a very real problem in America and I can’t deny it so what am I to do about it?

People need to realize there is a middle ground and there will likely be compromises on both sides. This whole all or nothing idea that people have adopted over the past few years isn’t going to work.

I really don’t know how he’s going to get these guys to want to play for him anymore. Maybe he’s just a lame duck and they are using his comments as against him so they can have Winston. Wouldn’t surprise me.
