saints players need to educate drew brees – his statement is embarrassing at this point of time. it was a dumb thing to say then and it's especially dumb now not to get that peaceful kneeing was about *injustice* and *police brutality* and had nothing to do with the american flag pic.twitter.com/bbe5hHsiDy

Dear Drew Brees:

1.) That’s me, a US Marine. If anyone knows about respect and love for country, I’m your guy.

2.) Knowing why some NFL players knelt in the first place ie raising awareness for racial justice, I don’t find their action disrespectful to my service or the Flag. pic.twitter.com/V2UhR6cQpq
