Agreed. It's all about timing. Drew just had insanely bad timing.
I guarantee there isn't a person in the locker room that isn't aware of Drew's deeply conservative views. However, he needed to keep those feelings to himself. He could have easly said, "this is a time to listen, not speak" when faced with that question. But, I guess that just ain't how Drew rolls and he's going to pay for it, sadly.
