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.
