Las críticas a Drew Brees, quarterback de los New Orleans Saints, llegaron en cascada luego de las declaraciones que hizo el miércoles sobre el respeto a la bandera en una entrevista con Yahoo Finance.
Las palabras de Brees llegan un momento de tensión en Estados Unidos luego del asesinato de George Floyd a manos de un policía de raza blanca en Minneapolis la semana pasada.
Highlight: @readdanwrite asks @drewbrees what the star NFL quarterback thinks about “players kneeling again when the NFL season starts.”@drewbrees: "I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country."

Las reacciones por parte de jugadores y ex jugadores de la NFL no se hicieron esperar.
I recorded a few videos when thinking of how to respond to Drew Brees, I don't take any of it back-I meant what I said-I removed the 1st video because I knew it be more about the headlines. I want people to understand how those of us struggling with what's going on feel pic.twitter.com/T054qt0YEz

He's beyond lost. Guarantee you there were black men fighting along side your grandfather but this doesn't seem to be about that. That uncomfortable conversation you are trying to avoid by injecting military into a conversation about brutality and equality is part of the problem https://t.co/ON81UsOWPw pic.twitter.com/HH3EVTIH8p
