If things are going to change and you refuse to accept someone’s apology and refuse to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are sincere what’s the point of even having the discussion on race relations?
I really hope Brees doesn’t wind up getting hurt. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...o-playing-him/

Malik and the KKK have a common bond. Neither accept Brees's apology.

I have a feeling Brees' teammates will have Brees' back and it's Malik that need to be careful. I'm sure they can think for themselves and don't need his guidance.

Senate just one upped Brees. Now wearing African scarves. Black people are now furious.

You never know whats gonna come out of Philly, not to mention those cool slippers.

The Dude

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.

This is comical. The black community is having a tweetfest over this. At least they didn't go full on blackface.

SHANNON SHARPE
UNCANCELS DREW BREES
After QB Calls To Apologize

Shannon Sharpe had a change of heart about Drew Brees -- now saying the QB deserves a 2nd chance ... just days after blasting the NFL star on national TV.

Remember, Sharpe called for Brees to retire and walk away from pro football forever on his FS1 show "Undisputed" after Drew condemned NFL kneelers during an interview with Yahoo Finance.

"It wasn't what he said," Sharpe said Thursday ... "it was how he said it. He was defiant. I will NEVER respect the man."

But, after Sharpe went scorched-earth on Drew, the QB picked up the phone and talked things out with Shannon ... and apparently, he made a real impact.

Shannon says Drew understood he messed up -- and has vowed to educate himself on the topic so he can try and redeem himself.

Sharpe says he lectured Drew on why the protest is NOT about disrespecting the military -- but rather putting a spotlight on police brutality and racial injustice in America.

On Monday's "Undisputed," Sharpe says he's now in Drew's corner -- and hopes he makes the best of this second chance.

The protests have killed more black people by actual black people than white police. Think it's up to a dozen now of black people killing black people. It's a grim reality nobody wants to admit.
