Donald Trump thinks Drew Brees should not have apologized for national anthem comments

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees reignited the discussion about players kneeling during the national anthem earlier in the week, and President Donald Trump was happy to wade in after him.

Brees said earlier in the week that he would “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag” and voiced his belief that everyone should stand for the national anthem. He was widely criticized for missing the point of those who had knelt during the anthem, and ended up issuing a lengthy apology for his initial comments.

President Trump weighed in Friday afternoon, saying in a pair of tweets that Brees should not have apologized and repeating the belief that kneeling should not be permitted during the anthem.

This is probably not something the NFL wants to relitigate, especially right now. You only need to take note of some of the responses to Brees’ original quote to see just how strongly many black athletes feel about commentary like this. You only need to look at how players reacted other times Trump weighed in to see just how much this could inflame the situation.

1. What DT thinks is irrelevant. He is nothing. He is a pile of shit.

2. The NFL, and most of the US has told Drew and the Pig to f**k off.

Trump has to counter punch even if he is spitting into the wind.

7. Donnie Bo Bonnie...

He should apologize repeatedly and profusely on his knees on television from Fort Trump behind the Baby Wall for laying siege on America for so long and bringing it to a head.

His apology should include the admission that he has not kept his oath and has had nothing but the intent to be the first American dictator, thusly subverting the Office of President as an illegitimate and seditious actor with a dangerous ulterior motive. He should also openly admit is alliances with nefarious and detrimental 3rd-parties who have assisted him in an all out attack on America and its people.

Our greatest danger, (and the also to the World) is the tyrant in Fortress White White house with his troops amassed around him.

8. Who gives a fuck what this circus clown thinks?

In a sane world, we wouldn't even know who the fuck this guy is.

In a sane world, someone would mention Donnie Dollhands, and the reaction would be; "is that guy even still alive"?

9. Every American ought to take a knee in support of BLM and George Floyd at least once.

Let’s see Trump rail about that!
