President Trump criticized New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on Friday after he apologized for his comments about his stance against kneeling during the national anthem in wake of the George Floyd protests.
Later that day he posted a video to Instagram saying “how sorry I am for the comments that I made yesterday.”
“The years and years of social injustice, police brutality, and the need for so much reform and change in regard to legislation and so many other things to bring equality to our black communities. I am sorry," he continued. "And I will do better. And I will be part of the solution. And I am your ally.”
Brees’ teammate Michael Thomas was one of the many athletes who reacted to the quarterback’s comments this week. “He don’t know no better,” Thomas wrote on Twitter. “We don’t care if you don’t agree and whoever else how about that.”Other athletes across the sports world shared their thoughts about Brees’ comments, including Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman and former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, among others.Paulina Dedaj is a writer/ reporter for Fox News.
