They'll play for him because they know and respect him. They have already cleared the air on that. They'll play for him because they are football players and want to win.

Guido, I like you; you know that. And also I consider you an authority, for the most part.

But there are people, for whom the number one most important thing in all universal existence is the color of their skin, and yours. I supersedes everything, including logic, job, duty, and truth.

This cancer will not die, and they will go nowhere. And you know thats hard for me to say.

I wouldnt buy a ticket, merchandise, or watch a game, until these haters apologize to HIM and to US. (and if you know my racial makeup, i dont exactly qualify for the aryans) I mean Americans. It comes before games and sports. I can tell you Media isnt doing well this year... CBS just had massive layoffs. These fools are about to find out who pays the freight.

I don't think you are giving these men enough credit, Mike. They all know Brees far better than us. If they say they have forgiven Brees for his words then I believe them. I believe Brees is sincere and I have no doubt they do as well. The cancer is with the media for fueling exchanges such as this. Brees and his teammates are not stupid. They know what is going on. They were able to talk personally yesterday and have apparently found common ground. People tend to react to extremes quickly these days. Brees is the same man he was one week ago. For anyone to say that they have lost respect for him forever is pretty shallow thinking.

And those haters are the media, Mike. They are the ones that fan the flames and feed the fire.

From where I stand, this is a Purge, not a protest because of BS like this below...

Guess, I'm getting too old, but my heart genuinely is hurts - HURTS - for this man tonight...

There are good people in this world. Most people are good, the media wants you to fear others and believe we are all evil... don’t.

Over 6100 people donated to his go fund me and they raised over 170k in almost no time.

We are all God’s people.

Apology, like I said, not good enough.
Martellous Bennet is on Don Lemon ....basically calling....nevermind.

What was Brees thinking...DO NOT TALK.

If Brees had said “Death to the USA. Burn the flag.“
Today, he would have been applauded with calls of players and the media wanting him to be the next commissioner..

Up is down. What is right is wrong. Left is right. The times we are in for the rest of this year.

Well yeah...that generally happens when people begin telling you men can have periods and men can be women and women can be men. Then the government enacts laws supporting these insane ideas. You end up being led to believe qhite people are the problem and not a culture of violence and absence of parenting. Which is why my post says rid my life of qhite liberals and many black Americans. As my son gets older I will tell him if he wants to be successful befriend Asians, stay away from black American men.

I invite all of you to stop and read the 14 pages here. Everyone using different words but sounding the same; everyone wanting to be heard, but no one is listening.

Try continuing without using they or them. This country is divided into two, 'We the People' and 'the government'.

Rez made a point about what is genuine and what isn't. If you have genuine reverence for the flag you don't fly it once it is tattered, you do not fly it in inclement weather... There are 3-4 pages of etiquette and flag code regarding the United States flag that are relatively unknown much less followed by most people yelling "respect the flag".

Calls for respect for the flag feel hollow to this Veteran. They feel more like talking points than an understanding.
