Sure there was.
It made it impossible for Drew to continue to keep his head up his rear and refuse to understand what he was being told by the people directly involved.
As others have said, he could have just called Brees up, like a man.......and stated "hey, here's why I take issue with this, this and that"........and even if he felt he did have to go to social media, could have handled it way more professionally.
I have seen lots of people over the last month or so have the same take as yourself on this- but they seem to convienently forget that Drew’s remarks were made on a public platform- so why shouldn’t the reaction to those remarks be public as well??
Trust me, no one has forgotten that Brees did absolutely not one thing wrong and was merely answering a question, followed by getting unfairly/ridiculously chastised over it. You also quoted, but didn't acknowledge, the part that began with "and even if he felt he did have to go to social media"...
In addition, Brees didn't say "(bleep) those who are kneeling during the anthem". He stated his own personal position on the matter, professionally and with his usual class.

It also advanced the discussion about inherent racism in this country that's buried so deeply and is so pervasive that many of us don't even know it. I, myself, would never have thought of changing the name of Dixie beer or read the 3 not so well known verses of the Star Spangled Banner, but things like this force us to look more deeply at our past and to hopefully mve forward stronger for having done it.
not exactly correct - he did not intend to be dismissive or belittling, but his impact was just thatTrust me, no one has forgotten that Brees did absolutely not one thing wrong and was merely answering a question, followed by getting unfairly/ridiculously chastised over it.
This condescending "take" gives the implication that you and/or Malcolm Jenkins somehow know the best way to "reach" Drew Brees.
Telling Brees "(bleep) You" in a video is apparently something you see no issue with, or, at minimum, are tolerant of.
As others have said, he could have just called Brees up, like a man.......and stated "hey, here's why I take issue with this, this and that"........and even if he felt he did have to go to social media, could have handled it way more professionally.
People are incorrectly equating criticism toward Jenkins's approach as "shut up and dribble".............. if that's the case, why has no one taken Colston to task? Because Colston (who, by the way, also went to social media) addressed his difference in opinion in a far more professional manner..............Professional, which is what Drew Brees has been nothing but.
To say you and/or Jenkins know better than Brees how to handle that situation is simultaneously not giving the man near enough credit, while giving you and/or Jenkins way too much.
A couple of points of clarification. He actually made the emotional video before he spoke to Brees and decided to still post it after talking to him about the whole situation. He still chose to post it AFTER speaking to Brees. Second, he ended the video by telling Brees he “needs to know when to just shut the f...... up!” We all have the right to our different feelings about that. It is what is is and we are where we are.

*poleSounds like a political poll to me. I object.
Well, good reflection and death threats are always motivating, death threats his wife brought up in her apology. Their family received death threats over this. We can all feel differently about that.He didn’t say “(bleep) You” to Brees. Jenkins explained why he said what he felt AND why he said it in that matter. And it worked.
Would a nicer, more professional manner have worked? Possibly. But we’ve also seen that kind of thing not work hundreds of times.
Without any bad intent, it would have been very easy for Brees to hang up the phone after a nice, professional call, and think “we disagree about the flag (still not realizing what the real issue was), but it sounds like we’re cool” and move on.
But getting yelled at by people that you love and respect and watching your words/actions move them to literal tears makes it impossible to think “meh, small difference of opinion; everything is fine.” You pretty much have to do some self-reflecting after seeing that kind of reaction.
And after reflecting on it, Brees and his wife have both agreed that they were wrong and explained (in a rather insightful way) how they got to be so comfortable in their way of thinking.
Malcolm Jenkins could have called Drew on the phone, or texted him. He chose to create unrest publically to draw attention to himself, not much of a captain. Now, he states he doesnt want to play. Easy to do when u have guaranteed money. What a loser, I'd rather Jarius Byrd or Terbucky. They couldn't play, but they were good teammates..It's been a long time since Jenkins knew what struggling was....Give the money back , we'll sign someone whose focus is football.
