The sports world was lit up on Wednesday and it was all thanks to Drew Brees and him perceiving that players kneeling during the national anthem was a sign of disrespect.
This brought back to the forefront the debate surrounding the Colin Kaepernick-led national anthem protests that started in 2016 and how he wanted to bring attention to police brutality towards minorities.
The latest player to respond is none other than former Saints three-time Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram who took to Twitter and praised Aaron Rodgers for speaking on the real truth of what players were kneeling about.
“It has NEVER been about an anthem or a flag. Not then. Not now.”
THANK YOU for speaking truth for the oppresssed and unheard.
THANK YOU for understanding the WHY.

Brees not only missed the entire point four years ago, but continues to do so in 2020, even with Kaepernick and others telling them what it was about.
Ingram may have spent eight seasons as Brees’ teammate with the Saints before signing with Baltimore ahead of the 2019 season, but he clearly does not appreciate his comments during a time where Colin Kaepernick has been proven right for his actions.
