Doubt he get close enough to Brees in week 14 to have opinion heard.

It's a fact of life that some Americans are still stuck in the past and are racists who pass their values onto their children. Unfortunately, these are the ones getting all the media attention.

The next time you see a car broken down and people are jumping out to help push the vehicle I want you to notice that they are usually black people stopping to lend a hand.

Brees and his wife certainly have a right to change their mind and do whatever they want to do, no doubt about it.

But there was a requirement for Brees to apologize for not understanding (death threats?), yet where is the requirement for those that don't bother understanding him? We all want to be fair, right?

You give everything you have for a community and they turn on you faster than you can say "entitlements."

To have a free society, you have to have free speech, and in order to have free speech you have to risk offending someone and being offended in the pursuit of truth.

If you cannot RISK being offended, and require that no one does so means that you aren't concerned with trying to understand anything true in the first place.

You can say "oh well are THEY not practicing their free speech?" Sure, and the free market and their employers can dictate otherwise. And that's the way it should be.

If the owners want competent players, they'll weigh the risk of losing some fans vs. punishing players who could win them games. That's a free market based on competency, and it's far superior to throwing blanket policies and mandates around without any thought to the ripple effects.

Ever heard of Stalin's forced confessions?
