Martellus Bennett had a lot to get off his chest on Wednesday evening.
The former NFL tight end not only blasted blasted Drew Brees, but also white quarterbacks and racism in the NFL in a Twitter thread.
“Let’s not being ignorant. You have a HOF QB in Drew talking about protesting the military when taking a knee,” Bennett tweeted. “It’s been forever long how the f–k do you still not know what your black ‘brothers’ are fighting for?
“You get in front of millions on your platform and give a ignorant statement f–king up the message dudes have lost their jobs fighting for. You and your friends need to take your knees off of the necks of your black teammates and stand for something,” he continued.
“Because spreading the false narrative of protesting the military and s–t is exactly what you are doing,” Bennett added. “Get informed. Read a f–king book.”

Brees was blasted much of the day when he stated he still disagreed with players who kneel during the national anthem.
“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country,” Brees told Daniel Roberts of Yahoo Finance. “… Is everything right with our country right now? No, it’s not. We still have a long way to go.
“But I think what you do by standing there and showing respect to 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.”
