No. I dismiss the twist that sites like that would put on it. Such as implying THAT was the reason for the apology while completely ignoring that extended conversations with teammates and others would have far, far more impact than someone from the twitterverse in their mother's basement sending out baseless threats.

Brees is not the type of person to let idle "threats" such as that affect his decision making. As a celebrity I have little doubt he has received those type of comments before. Sharing the fact that they received some was simply highlighting the importance of the issue. I would be shocked if he didn't receive more after coming to the conclusion that he didn't understand the purpose of the protest.
