Drew Brees 'I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the Flag

Drew Brees, the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, has unfortunately become the poster child for what happens when you venerate a hollow space wrapped up in red, white and blue. In an interview Wednesday with Yahoo Finance, Brees was asked to comment on the actions of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who in 2016 began kneeling during the national anthem to draw attention to police violence against black people in the United States. Brees said that he saw all people as equal, but insisted he “will never agree with anyone disrespecting the flag." Kaepernick was, in his view, protesting in the wrong way.
