New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees does not support the idea of the NFL kneeling protests returning this season.
As social justice protests happen across the country over the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, the sports world has taken note. Scores of athletes are speaking out on social media in support of the protests, and many have joined protests in person.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, long seen as a leader in the league, posted a black square to his Instagram account on Tuesday for #BlackOutTuesday, and posted again on Wednesday, saying in part, “There is a saying in every locker room I have been in... Don’t just talk about it, be about it. Acknowledge the problem, and accept the fact that we all have a responsibility to make it better.
Brees has indicated the same feelings about the anthem protests in the past. In 2016, he said he supported Kaepernick’s right to protest, but disagreed with the method of the protest, because the American flag is “sacred.”
