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

Swimmer said
Payton needs to get the leaders on a Zoom call or something ASAP. Black players are very antsy right now (for good reason) and Brees' logic whether you agree or not has the potential to cause a divide amongst the team.

Perception is reality. He may not be racist, but no one cares when you repeat things that racist people say.
