There are people actually burning Drew Brees’ jersey. 2020 just got even wilder.
On Wednesday, the New Orleans Saints quarterback upset thousands, if not millions of people that saw his comments about not liking people who kneel during the playing of the National Anthem when asked if the gesture might make a comeback in light of what is going on in the United States.
“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country. Let me just tell you what I see or what I feel when the national anthem is played and when I look at the flag of the United States,” the 41-year-old quarterback told the outlet.
In the hours since his comments, he’s been blasted by just about everybody, while some decided to burn his jersey.
Ouch.
