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...
