A Cold Brees is blowing through the sports world today after a white NFL quarterback, who is a multimillionaire many times over, says something really stupid and irrelevant to the situation at hand in the U.S. today--race relations.
To Drew Brees it's all about the flag. At least one of his teammates with the New Orleans Saints has spoken out. Other sports pros around the country have also questioned his statement.
And of course everyone has a right to an opinion; it's just that some speech is recklessly degenerate and misbegotten--and plainly stupid.
The guy attended Purdue University. I wonder if he ever cracked a U.S. History book?
Maybe he's brain damaged. We can't rule it out. It is after all football, and he's played the game for many years.
Here is a relevant piece I wrote several years ago. If your concern is optics, Colin Kaepernick looks really good right now.
