By Michael Brown, The Stream - Drew Brees, longtime quarterback of the New Orleans Saints and one of the most popular players in the NFL. And, to my knowledge, a man never before accused of being racist... all hell broke loose against him when he said that he “will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.”... He was referring to the practice of some NFL players to kneel down during the national anthem as a sign of protest, and he was expressing his disagreement with it.
