Wednesday’s comments from Saints quarterback Drew Brees did not go over well with many fans and athletes, and that included some of his own teammates.
Another teammate, defensive end Marcus Davenport, also took to Twitter but in defense of his quarterback.
“Drew wasn’t talking about the current protest, the riots or really anything besides HIS feelings on kneeling during the National Anthem,” Davenport said. “He even explained what they were, the basis and that he actually stands with us. Do we have to entirely agree with him, no.”
Saints defensive end, Cameron Jordan, saw that post and reacted negatively to it.
“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but this ain’t it,” Jordan said. “Does it seemingly denounce the focal point of what the intended kneeling was meant for, yes!”
