Drew Brees and his wife are looking to be part of the solution.

Just a few days after Drew Brees came under fire for his comments about kneeling during the national anthem, his wife, Brittany Brees, took to Instagram to issue her own apology. "WE ARE THE PROBLEM," she wrote in part of a post shared to their Brees Dream Foundation account.

Fox Sports commentator, Mike Hill, 49, is bothered by the timing of Drew Brees‘, 41, comments as the Black Lives Matter protests carry on across our nation. “When it came to Drew Brees, I just thought that it was tone deaf,” Mike told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY in an interview from his LA home on June 5. “I thought it was bad timing, I thought it was insensitive, I thought the first thing that popped out of his mouth was just wrong.”

Ellise Shafer editorNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has called out President Trump in an Instagram post, telling him that NFL players kneeling during the national anthem has nothing to do with the American flag itself, but with issues of racial injustice.“Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag.

NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem and raising of the American flag has never got as much attention — and shifts in opinion — as it has in the past 48 hours. It started out when New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in a June 3 interview said, “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America” by kneeling.

Twitter users think Donald Trump, 73, should be the one apologizing after the POTUS threw shade at Drew Brees‘ attempt to backtrack on his anti-kneeling comments. “I am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he’s truly one of the greatest quarterbacks, but he should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag. OLD GLORY is to be revered, cherished, and flown high…,” Trump tweeted on June 5.

Actions speak louder than words. On Friday, former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay virtually stopped by Daily Pop and shared with E!'s Nina Parker her thoughts on Drew Brees' apology, whether she's heard from Hannah Brown since her N-word controversy and more.

Go off. LeBron James slammed Drew Brees for his National Anthem kneeling comment. The Los Angeles Lakers player criticized the NFL quarterback after Brees did an interview with Yahoo Finance this week, where he claimed that he will “never agree” with kneeling during the National Anthem. The comment was in reference to former San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem at several NFL games in 2016 protest of police brutality and systemic racial violence in the United States, which many believe had led him to be blackballed from playing for any NFL team since.

Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee??” tweeted the NBA Champ.
