M Jenkins and Michael Thomas killed the Saints

Rugby Saint II · 09-28-2020, 12:56 PM

It looks like Drew is a broken man. He stood strong for his belief in standing for the flag. And was viciously attacked! He was forced to go against his values for team unity. That sucks. A man should have the right to speak his mind without being beaten down by his team mates in public.

Having to back down on something that you deeply believe in can break you down. Drew doesn't have the passion for the game and I blame Malcolm(the Mouth) Jenkins for dividing the team. It's obvious that Drew's heart is not in the game. The fire is gone from his eyes.

Now, I realize that Drew should have stuck to his principles and just retired from that venomous environment where your team mates attack you. It's a shame that a good man has been beaten down just for disagreeing with someone who has a different opinion.

When did we lose the right to free speech?

So true it hurts. Disagreeing without being disagreeable. Why does everybody have to “follow” blindly, quite frequently to those who yell the loudest. On any side of the fence, it’s just wrong. So..., Very..., Wrong.

Or he could have also stand on what he said, as they say I stand on this. No one can force you to change your mind on a matter unless you let them. He could have also just walked away from the team. What’s left for him to prove?

Look at the irony in what you said...because Brees changed his mind he is broken and the team is divided. In actuality, with him changing his stance you would think that they would be more united and the team would rally together.

We are the only ones still talking about this and using it as a crutch. Just be honest with yourselves and see things for what they are. Brees is declining and the defense is horrible right now. Maybe they get it together, maybe they don’t.

His body language says I'm a beaten man. Personally, I think it's from troubles at the office not at home. The fire in his eyes is gone. I don't consider it to be self inflicted. Like I said, I realize now that he should have stood his ground and continued to speak his mind like everyone else who has a message that they insist that the world hear.

Let the fight be another challenge or just walk away from the whole tainted mess. I feel for the man. If you don't like him because of his stand and then reversal on it then that is up to you. Incidentally, does this team look like they have rallied together? Drew was sitting by himself on the bench. That has never happened before. This team certainly is playing like a "united team". They look dysfunctional but I'm sure the focus being off of football didn't help.

Peace out.
