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.

AG, twist? Death Threat is what it is. Irregardless of the source. And I'd be asking why #BigCorporate #MSM is not reporting this and what their motives are for diminishing, neglecting coverage on this.

This is freaking serious, there shouldn't be any casual dismissal of this, no matter Brees' courage; and I'd argue that it has had an effect on him and his outlook...

And if anything should be condemned with extreme prejudice, it's death threats because someone doesn't post or say exactly what the cancel culture wants that person to say...

That kind of intimidation needs to be put down with the harshest allowable punitive action...

Death threats are a way of public life. The seriousness can be measured. If the Brees' felt in any true danger I am sure it would have been reported to the authorities. In my years with the media I have known many an editor who has received the same empty threats from morons out there on many occasions. "I hope you just die!!" and "I am going to kill you so be prepared" are both considered death threats, yet one is far less intimidating.

I myself have received threats here in this very forum and laughed them off. But, yes, honestly directed death threats should be dealt with to the extreme. But if you truly believe he has never received any form of death threat in today's social media environment you are naive ... and I know you are not naive, my friend.

And, no, I truly feel anything some anonymous person posts on Twitter has far less impact on one's decisions than does serious personal conversations with teammates. Can you honestly disagree with that, JP?

Oh, and #BigCorporate #MSM are mostly likely not reporting on it because it was no more than an off hand mention by Brittney.

By the way, who is #BigCorporate #MSM? Pleading ignorance here.

Well, this post is blatantly obvious that you will gloss over anything that could negatively impact this team...

That you could idly dismiss death threats "as a way of life" so long as we keep the band together absolutely baffles me...

There is no way a civilized society can accept death threats as a way of life...

And say what you want, this team has a leadership, maturity problem that these some of these guys would lead a cancel culture attack on social media against Brees, the franchise leader since 2006...

With regards to the latter, if you can't look objectively review, discover obvious bias of #MSM (Main Stream Media), then I'm not going to be able to explain it in a blurb on B&G...

Perhaps you are right. It may be beyond remorse. I would be curious if any of the actual parties involved are as bent out of shape as those outside of the situation. I understand your anger. But you need to wait and understand the actual human interaction between these teammates. You are projecting your anger. As I mentioned in another thread along these lines. Have you ever said something in anger which you regretted? These teammates, family members to a degree had a blow up. I have had them. I am going through one right now concerning something personal which I have shared with you alone on this forum. It can happen and it can be healed.

As for the "death threats", I would be interested in exactly what Brittney was referring. If indeed threatening then bad. But they had nothing to do with the personal relationship that he has with his teammates.

I say chill, my friend. It is a time to step back and reflect. Take a deep breath or fifty.

Anger? More like Disgust. Disgust with Cancel Culture. Disgust with low standards we now accept as normal behavior, i.e., a laissez-faire attitude toward death threats as a way of life...

The Death Threats, The Cancel Culture, The Political Correct Naratives by those who presume their values are greater than others should be denounced as harshly as police brutality as they are what has brought us to this point...

With regards to the latter, if you can't look objectively review, discover obvious bias of #MSM (Main Stream Media), then I'm not going to be able to explain it in a blurb on B&G...

Okay, got the rest. Yes, MSM. Been there, done that. I know for sure if there were materially significant threats on the lives of Drew Brees and his family that the authorities AND the MSM would be all over it. Talk about clickbait! Woohoo! We're in the money!

Okay, look at it this way, JP. You have many employees, no? You have a day when you need everyone there. At the last minute one vital asks to be off for a distant cousin's birthday and you say no. Some of his coworkers are saying you are a hard-ass about it. Now, you have already discussed it with Tom and he says it is cool and he understands as do his coworkers. In the meantime, loopy Aunt Betty goes off her meds and the next day you get some weird death threat via twitter from who the hell knows who saying because Tom can't be off that they are going to take you out.

Is that the fault of those that you know, or old looney assed Betty?

Get the analogy?

Any death threat is bad, but you cannot blame it on anybody but the lunatic making the threat. If it was indeed real, it surely wasn't on Jenkins, or Thomas or any other teammate.

Understand?
