Drew Brees recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo's On The Move, and Daniel Roberts asked Brees about his thoughts on NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem. Brees then stated, "I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America."
Brees went on to explain that he thinks about the sacrifices that both of his grandfathers made in the military for their country. He went on to address the current civil unrest in the U.S. following the death of George Floyd. Brees then stated, "Is everything right with our country right now? No, it's not. We still have a long away to go. But, I think what you do by standing there and showing respect for the flag with your hand over your heart, is it shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together. We can all do better and that we are all part of the solution."
Snoop Dogg replied to Yahoo Finance's post of the interview, writing, "Drew u on bullssh*t. S. T. F. U." TDE artist Isaiah Rashad also commented, writing, "DREW BREES PLAYS FOR NEW ORLEANS BUT STILL DONT SEE WHY BLACK PPL FIGHT FOR EQUALITY.."
