Drew Brees Apologizes
 

It takes a big man, who is showing true leadership...to do this. :thumbup:

Drew Brees Apologizes (click here)

I was taught not to desecrate or dishonor the American Flag. To me Kneeling during the national anthem is doing just that. If we allow anyone to do whatever they want as long as they can later justify it because of an injustice or disagreement won't we have anarchy at some point?

I just wish that the football players had used another means to show Black Lives matter.

Just like Brees did initially, you've totally missed the whole point. :oops:

I'm also curious, as to your suggestion(s) on what other "means" should be used to show that..."Black Lives matter?"

:popcorn:

The flag is a symbol used by many groups to push there causes for good and bad example for bad , 100 flags outside a used car dealer and for good what Colin did. His act while unpopular by some created more awareness, volunteers and money for social justice programs are in America but apparently not enough . He was never disrespecting the flag . I fought for freedom for all people to be able peacefully protest against whatever Injustice they feel.

Our flag is sacred and should never be disrespected in any manner at all.

Other ways to protest.

Nobody cares what celebrities, athletes, musicians have to say. Their ability to throw a spiral or make faces for the camera have nothing to do with making sound moral decisions.

Drew's agent probably told him his sponsors were getting blowback so make an apology. Big whoop.

He was faced with losing all the millions he was making from playing football and sponsorships. His original statement came from the heart. His apology was from his pocketbook. No doubt there were threats on his life and his family from the assortment of America hating thugs who are out to destroy civilization as well.

I disagree. I’m a 22 year Army Veteran and have great respect for what Kaepernick did. He had a large audience to bring an incredibly important issue to the forefront. God Bless Kaepernick.:pray:

I think you hit the nail on the head.

If they were truly genuine in their beliefs and comments they would not have to walk back or apologize after getting electronic social feed back.

In my opinion, a major problem in too much of the communicating of today.

Should never apologise,

So no one is allowed to change their minds, or to acknowledge and admit...that they might have had it wrong initially?

That people should always stay with their original/knee-jerk comments and should never show "weakness"...by admitting they might have been wrong?

Even though it takes real leadership and a spine...to admit to being wrong?

And that there is too much press/media...reporting on what is REALLY occurring?


WOW...just wow. :ohdear:

What is said here, is that the military pledges their allegiance to the Constitution Of The United States and US citizens...NOT to any single person or party.

Good for those who had the courage, patriotism and spine...to put out and sign this. :thumbup:

I too respect this man's courage even if he has done some bone-headed things along with them.

Since this attitude is a major root of so many of our current problems...this bears repeating. :ohdear:
