Just a couple of years ago, Brees opinion was like a 50-50 opinion. Some people thought you should stand, some people thought the kneeling protests were good for civil rights. Now if you disagree with the flag kneeling protests it's a headliner on all news websites, your entire team criticizes you, past players you played with criticize you, and the whole world just jumps and pulverizes you into dust. I get that the George Floyd incident was horrible, I just don't see how that changes the entire world's opinion on something in the blink of an eye.

Nah I don't think people's opinions are actually changing, I think people are becoming more afraid to speak their minds. We are actually moving away from solving this issue, regardless of what these celebtards think. The only way you unify is to actually voice your opinions and actually have discussions between opposing sides. If they think they are going to crush police brutality through violence and trying to shut people up with differing opinions they are completely out of touch with how reality works and this shows they don't even understand the issue they are dealing with.
I have teenage children so I have every social media platform available. Twitter is unique and its design of anonymity combined with limited keystroke makes for a virtual piranha like environment where very few people think, they just spew outrageous thoughts hoping to gain followers. I know that sounds contradictory but you can tweet 20 thoughts in a relatively short amount of time without ever thinking about what you are actually saying.

I literally had someone tell me that because what i was saying didn't agree with him, I must be Alt-right.
