You have a right to disrespect the flag. Just don't burn it! You have the right to burn the flag and I have the right to go to jail for whipping your ass!

I love my flag and have frequent discussions with my best friend who sees it as a symbol that politicians wrap themselves in. I see it as a representation of American values and the soldiers who fought to protect it. All Americans dead veterans caskets are draped with the American flag. If you don't like the flag but want the civil liberties it's protection has provided for all of us then do something positive and not divisive.

I don't really know enough to comment on matters if I'm being honest.

What exactly did Brees say? Because fans on twitter are disowning him and setting fire to his Jersey etc.

Half way through the year and it needs a reset.

So now anything short of completely agreeing with rioting or kneeling automatically means you are a racist?
I don’t even recognize this country anymore.
For the record I respect players right to kneel but Thomas and Sanders are way off base and out of line.
People should be able to have opinions that differ than others without being labeled a racist.

On a side note, not linked to this George Floyd stuff. Michael Thomas is too active on twitter

Brandin Cooks was annoying. But Thomas just never knows when to shut up, he has to argue with everyone about everything.

I miss the Colston, Devery, Meachem and Moore days. No diva issues.

I think the issue is that Brees didn’t address the matter at hand. Instead he just doubled down on his old stance about disrespecting the flag.
