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

That's why I'm disappointed in Drew's comment. In saying he "could never agree" with someone disrespecting the flag, he's insisting upon his own definition of what the act of kneeling does and what it's intended to do. So even if a kneeling player says it's not intended to disrespect the flag or those who fought for it, Drew says he can't accept that explanation. It's a pretty hard line to reject your own teammate's statement of his intent.

Exactly. This is what is missed on so many. The inability to view things from a perspective that you can never have. I'm not black. I didn't grow up feeling and experiencing the same things because I had privilege. And if that word scares or angers you, I suggest you take a glance at this educational video to help you better understand what it means to have social inequalities.
