Quote: "In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country. They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful and have misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy. This could not be further from the truth, and is not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character."

5. After reading this subsequent statement I have one question for drew brees.

How many protests have you attended? If you really feel this way and are in that much pain about it I can't see how you would NOT want to be on the front lines.

So, how many drew?
