Drew Brees Apologizes for Kneeling Comments: 'I Have Always Been an Ally' [View all]

Link: https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/06/04/drew-brees-apologizes-kneeling-comments

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."
