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

Drew's remarks appear different when you actually hear the reporter's question - which was very long-winded and difficult to answer.

WHAT Brees said isn't as much of a problem as WHEN he said it. People's emotions are running high now and during this last week lots of people with the airwaves or big platforms have been giving the props to Kaepernick. So in light of this, Brees remarks stood out like a sore thumb, even though he really didn't say anything too unusual based on his past statements and opinions. People are hearing insinuations from Brees that aren't really there because he's been contrast against Kaepernick .

People are jumping to conclusions because now everyone sees Kaepernick was spot-on about police brutality. But that doesn't automatically mean everyone (including Brees) is going to do a 180 and come to agreement or even participate in Kaepernick's protest strategy. Seems like the emotions of recent events led to some unrealistic expectations. And then social media does what it does SMH.
