Sure. There was guy who made an account on CityData recently to say "Hey, I'm black and racism doesn't exist". I can't say I am at all persuaded by that alleged black guy.

Drew should have been smarter about the situation, he's the leader of the team, How would he expect them to react by saying that? High Five's, a pat on the back?

Brees explained why he would be standing for the anthem and the flag pretty clearly and respectfully. I guess that doesn’t work with people who aren’t smart enough to understand it.

NFL usually will overlook those things for talent. See Jeff George. I don't think it was locker room as much as marketing. Owners did not want that spotlight. They did not want to alienate a potion of their fan base. And from a business sense I do understand that.

So he's not allowed to have an opinion? An opinion that supports his own country? Only the BLM types can have an opinion?

Like one poster said "timing is everything", Its like going to a funeral of someone who died of a drug overdose and you say out loud that they shouldn't have done drugs. Its a true statement but it shouldnt have been said at that time.

He has an opinion that he's passing off as fact, When you come out an say something like "You will never agree...." then you will lose your teammates.

At least you are honest. Others here are pretending that no one is saying he is racist.

But you prove everything that is wrong with this movement. A good man is now tarred as a racist who wants the blacks to quit whining.....

Not according to Malcolm Jenkins it doesn’t.
