Malik Jackson won’t accept Brees apology

It's real. Russia and impeachment failed. Now on to plans C &D. Masks and scarves.

I may be in the minority here but I find repeating an act of perceived tragedy appalling and reprehensible.

A black man dies while a cop had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes.

Should I stand in the shape of a "T" in front of an atheist to honor Christianity?
Hold two fingers to my head to promote suicide awareness?
'Pour one out' as an homage to alcohol abuse?

FFS messaging matters.

Wearing African tribal garb for a photo-op. Isn't that cultural appropriation? Where is the outrage? That's worse that Trump holding up a Bible..at least he's Christian.

Actions speak louder than words. Anyone who believes this isn't accepting to reality.

True, it is Philly we are talking about here.
I just don’t get it. We are supposed to be willing to change, look inside ourselves, and listen to what the black community is saying. My opinions on racial inequality have changed And my stance on many issues have changed. I thought this is what the black community wants. What’s the point of all this if people aren’t able to accept the fact that people are open to change. I hate the double standard.

He appears to be in the minority when it comes to accepting that people are willing to change. I know I have. Apparently Drew has changed his perspective, as well. Every Saints player that came out against Drew's interview answer has "praised" or commended him since their private meetings. It will take quite a bit of compromise for things to improve elsewhere.

He never needed to apologize to anyone in the first place.

No. He never needed to apologize, but he did after discussing the issues and coming to a new understanding of the gesture and what it truly expressed.

I've been there and done that. I felt the exact same way at first, but after talking with several friends I also completely changed my viewpoint.
