Saints players and other key sports and public figures are angry at Drew Brees for his anthem comments

If MT is hated by his own fanbase for being passionate about putting a stop to police brutality and challenging his colleagues when they speak poorly about this life or death issue, I'm sure he's fine with that. It's bigger than football. Just know that when you celebrate a MT first down catch or an AK touchdown, you should also care about how they (and they're friends/familes) are treated Monday thru Saturday.
More that he's willing to call out his quarterback on social media over a disagreement on ways to effectively protest when they're in complete agreement over what you just said. Someone who isn't an idiot on Twitter like every other fanbase knows already would probably recommend reaching out to Brees directly for clarification before risking ruining their whole relationship.
