Brittany Brees apologizes in Instagram message: 'We are the problem'

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is in apology mode. After being ripped by teammates — and many others — after accusing NFL players who kneel of “disrespecting the flag,” Brees issued multiple apologies for his comments. He even responded directly to President Donald Trump, telling Trump the protests were not about the flag.

Following her husband’s lead, Brittany Brees issued her own statement Saturday. She apologized for not listening to what led to the protests, and vowed to do better.

Brees’ picture consists of two Martin Luther King quotes.
