Drew Brees apologizes for criticizing NFL players protesting during national anthem: 'I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country.'
"When our grandfathers fought for this country and served, and they came back. They didn't come back to a hero's welcome, they came back and got attacked for wearing their uniforms," Jenkins said.""If you don't understand that other people experience something totally different than you, then when you talk about brotherhood and all this other bulls---, it's just lip service.
"He knows what’s going on. He's seen my brother get murdered. The world has seen my brother get murdered," Jackson said."To be that naive and he's a smart guy but to be naive and act like you don't know why Kaepernick was kneeling, it just baffles me." While Brees said that he"will work every day to put myself in those shoes and fight for what is right," many are not accepting his apology as sufficient and have called it"a PR move.""Take this for what it is, if you're trying to issue an apology, a press release is not the route. Take your a-- on camera and apologize," wrote Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris."Then go take some actions forward to show us/yourself that you actually are sorry.
