I can't fathom how infuriating this sentiment must be for NFL players who protested during the anthem. It hijacks their message. It also attempts to rob them of their agency. They've said clearly what they mean, and Brees is misrepresenting them.
Highlight:
@readdanwrite
asks
@drewbrees
what the star NFL quarterback thinks about "players kneeling again when the NFL season starts."
@drewbrees
: “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.”

One thing I really disagree with is the idea that the Nats risked losing Juan Soto for nothing. Watching him hit every day is pretty far from nothing. There is, or should be, more to running or rooting for a baseball team than extracting value and mining championship equity.
