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

The proof that kneeling during the National anthem is the wrong way to seek redress is obvious...look how divisive it’s been. At this point can anyone rationally think kneeling will cause a new and different reaction from the “other side”, and cause change? Not a chance.

And the same goes for this hysterical overreaction and mob rule mentality against Brees today. He said nothing wrong or disrespectful. But all the “other side” hears is “he said kneelers are bad”! If one wants someone to listen to their issues then they must be prepared to do same. And the environment right now is widening the gap, not closing it.
