Re: NFL QB Drew Brees ‘Received Death Threats’ Before Recanting Pro-America Comments
This is exactly what Shaq O'Neil was talking about when he said don't let the media try to stir stuff up. This is creating that "us against the media" mentality that drove the Patriots to a championship. The players have already made peace with each other and now they'll begin circling the wagons against the media.
The site that posted this "article", bigleaguepolitics.com, is another one of those hate mongering ultra right wing sites. I wouldn't past them to have been involved in some of those "death threats" given their history. |

And most of those panels that brand news organizations as right wing are chock-stocked with career leftists in the Academy, #MSM or both; and are financed by opportunists using the Left... And why shouldn't the Truth about what may have influenced, pressured Brees into reversing his public stance not be reported? |

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. |

The people writing those letters need to be investigated by the FBI and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Of course this won't happen because the white people aren't allowed to enforce the law against black people. We are supposed to give black people a pass.
The problem isn't just the action itself by Drew. It's the thoughtless reactions of ignorant people to a situation where their only recourse is violence. Again, I'm not bein a racist but this feels like reverse discrimination to me. |

Re: NFL QB Drew Brees ‘Received Death Threats’ Before Recanting Pro-America Comments
Let's call it a hunch. The videos I've seen where the mob was that angry were all by black people then looting. I'm not saying it's not possible that it is white men. It could very well be.
I've always been emotionally upset because of the blight of the black man since I was taught that as a child. Not everyone else feels that way. Too bad. I'm lucky that my parents told me that everyone is created equal and not to pass judgement because of skin color. I just wish that could be reciprocated is all. ![]() |
