More importantly, Brees's character shines through. He manned up. He called. He listened. He talked with those he upset and he apologized and he's changed his mind.
this is what needs to be screamed from the mountaintop
anyone still butthurt about the Brees thing and tries to handwave his apology, needs to check themselves like Brees checked himself
exactly like you say, people need to man up (or person up)
 
I've literally seen no one call Malcolm Jenkins a "thug".

Stop trying so hard.

LOL. I'd encourage you to try a bit harder with both your worldview and your posts. You come off as a guy who thinks he's winning this thread but the deluge of clowns and dead Falcons should tell you otherwise. Try to have some self-awareness.

And you come off as exactly what Allen West described about white progressives........minus the part where you're bright enough/connected enough/wealthy enough to carry it out for the reason(s) he indicated. Meaning you're little more than just a race-baiting troll.

Quoting Allen West and then calling someone else a race-baiting troll is the definition of irony.
 
1) I didn't realize the Saints had this many snowflake fans.

2) I can't help but notice that people take issue with Jenkins, but not Mike Thomas, Kamara, etc who all criticized Drew.
Not only did some of us notice, it prompted us to read more and understand more. I didn't know Kamara's full life story until all of this. The treatment of a segment of society based on skin color by law enforcement is very real and very wrong. It is something that has to change! That being said, a person can still have a bad feeling about how this all went down. A person can still not like how this all went down or think it is all a trivial matter.

Personally I loved Kamara's response.
 
Nope. I ignore it all. Sports are sports. I watch college basketball, college football, and NFL. That's all I have ever watched, and ever will. I also turn on the game a minute after kickoff, so I don't hear any of the jibber jabber political crap that's going to be happening before the game and during the anthem. People can kneel, plank, stand on their head, whatever. I'm not watching any of it. And if the announcers start talking too much about it during the game, I'll mute it.

I'm not interested in Drew's political beliefs, or Kamaras, or Thomas's, ANYONEs. From either side. Athletes play sports. I care about what they have to say and do about sports. That's it. I don't listen to them talk about building a deck. I don't want their opinion on anything other than sports.


Same philosophy with musicians and actors. I don't give a rats arse what they think. I just want to hear them play music, or see them on TV/movies. If it's something else, their opinion means nothing.

I'd rather athletes not be racist or criminals, or idiots. But America has proven that killing people, beating women, and animal abuse isn't enough to stop worshipping an athlete, so why should this?

Why do you call NFL players criminals and idiots? The crime rate amongst NFL players is significant lower than the national average. An NFL player is less likely to commit a crime than the average poster on this board.

I think he's referring to the number of times a professional athlete will be convicted of a serious crime, but still get signed to large contracts. Basically, if you're good enough, you can still be a terrible person and make tons of money in pro sports.
 
I wish SR and the world were more civil. We all have a story and beliefs rooted in life experiences. There are way more than 2 camps on this issue. Yes, some people on both extremes are narrow minded. This will all play out. I think the disenchantment is real. I think this season will be a low point for the NFL for many reasons, all coming together at the same time. I am wrong every day about something. We will see. In the meantime, I am going to spend more time becoming more aware, probably watching less football in the fall and doing a lot more fishing.

I mean you can be a terrible person and make tons of money as a CEO or a politician too.
