One of my best friends on the planet told me a story yesterday. He had just gotten cut from the St Louis Rams and was driving back to his apt with all of his stuff from his locker. He was gonna finish packing up and drive back to NC and see if he could latch on with another team. As he was driving on the same road he'd driven a million times before, he gets pulled over. The officer tells him he pulled him over b/c he was driving in the left lane. Supposedly that was a no no in Missouri but of course my buddy didn't know that. Officer asked him why he was out driving around and my buddy told him that he had just gotten released by the Rams and he was driving home. The officer heard "released from jail", pulled his weapon and told my buddy to get out of the car and demanded my friend tell him why he was in Missouri with NC tags having just gotten out of jail. Jail. My buddy told him again, that he has never been in jail and was just released by the RAMS. Told him to call "Chief" (the retired police officer that works for the team) and he could verify who my friend was. Once the officer calmed down and realized my friend had never been in jail and was in fact a professional football player his attitude changed and the officer then made this comment, "Sorry man, you're just a big black guy in a nice car in nice part of town. I had to pull you over". Then that mf'er wanted an autograph.

I'd bet $5 million bucks something like that has never and will never happen to Drew Brees.

---

Unbelievable. He did all that and wanted an autograph... This is exactly why we're protesting.

---

For context this was around 2002/2003 towards the end of the "Greatest Show on Turf" teams so the Rams were pretty big back then. My buddy was just a practice squad dude.

Why? I have plenty of black friends, hell most of my friends are black.

I think some of you all need more native american friends in your life.

You're absolutely right, I do.

I don't even want to get into what native american's have been through in this country.

The reason hes getting blasted is he spoke his own opinion, and people dont want to hear it. They want you to hear you reiterate their opinion, otherwise you are "wrong".

---

Go back and listen to the question. He was asked what his responsibility was as a leader in times like this...all buddy had to say was what he just put out on his IG. Hell, he could've even said he "stands" with his fellow teammates and will be a compassionate and empathetic ally for those on the team and in the community. Nope, he made it about himself.

---

As you have pointed out, he already said the right things. This response was to this question.

If you want to see what Im talking about, go look at Tiger Wood's tweet (which was fine, IMO) and the responses he got to it.

People have the right to kneel and shouldn't shame those who don't. People have the right to consider it disrespectful, but they can't force anyone to stand.

But in terms of a national celebrity making a public statement, this one was dumb as he should have known he'd get roasted for it. That doesn't make it right, but it's true.

Brees is one of the most charitable players in the NFL, hate to see the guy get blasted like he is, but it's what we now do.

---

James, we're on the exact same page here. You can't have a different opinion today if it is against the liberal PC mob and media. You will get crushed for it as that is now happening to Brees. To me, that is a huge problem in this country. Everyone protesting right now talks about the freedom to protest as they should, but there is absolutely no freedom to protest or speak out if your opinion is not "correct". The social media mob will not allow it.

The most famous twitter user currently is the freaking president. That man is far from "extremely liberal" and that's just about his only platform except the millions of his minions that retweet the snot out of him. lol

Actually...as of 5/29 Obama had the most followers with 117.7 million

2. Justin Bieber - 111.7 million
3. Katy Perry - 108.5 million
4. Rihanna - 96.8 million
5. Taylor Swift - 86.1 million
6. Christiano Ronaldo - 84.9 million
7. Lady Gaga - 81.4 million
8. Ellen DeGeneres - 80.2 million
9. Donald J. Trump - 80.1 million
10. Ariana Grande - 73.8 million


Every one in the top 10 as far as followers outside of Trump are extremely liberal.

It's interesting how people come on this thread and do nothing but create more division. Drew Brees May have had poor timing with his comments but why can't he have his own opinion and by the way shame on ESPN for blasting him. What a joke! I will be damned if I'm gonna kneel for the flag!

Eh, most would acknowledge that Twitter slants pretty left. Trump's use is the notable exception to the overall community. 60% of users are liberal vs. 35% Republican based on a Pew research study done not too long ago. It skewed further left among "Super users" who posts on twitter frequently.

There were numerous think pieces written this year during the primary season imploring writers to not use twitter as a source for reading the electorate since users are younger, more liberal and therefore made Sanders' support seem larger than it was, while Biden's was perceived as lesser than it was.

Well those are the folks who cover sports in Charlotte and Raleigh and therefore "should" talk about NC State or the Panthers. And if you read any of their personal views and think you are on a conservative platform, then we have weirdly different views of what is conservative and liberal.

As for Brees.I think he was tone deaf...and the response to him from Marques Colston about rearing his son in this environment was very moving, I thought. A guy who should be of wealth and comfort, having to teach his son how to protect himself from being a cop victim.
That said...the attacks on Brees are also way overboard. Its kind of the sad times we are in, where every comment is taken as some kind of attack vector.
