LeBron James Goes Off On Drew Brees For Not ‘Agreeing’ With NFL Players Kneeling: ‘Wow, Man’
“WOW MAN!! [facepalm emoji],” tweeted LeBron James, 35, on June 3 while sharing a clip of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’s interview with Yahoo! Finance. In the interview, Drew, 41, was asked if the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and other black men and women killed by the police would trigger another round of Colin Kaepernick-inspired national anthem protests. Drew said he could never “agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country,” a statement that left LeBron James’s jaw on the floor. “Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee??” tweeted the NBA Champ.
