Players across the NFL have spoken out on the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer after the officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Floyd’s death has sparked protests, riots and civil unrest in U.S. cities everywhere, which have continued for about a week.
Drew Brees was asked by Yahoo’s Daniel Roberts on Wednesday how he would feel about players kneeling in protest during the playing of the national anthem once the season starts. Brees’ feelings about kneeling during the anthem haven’t changed despite the current status of our country, saying he’ll never agree with that type of protest.
