Donald Trump: Drew Brees will 'regret' apologizing after comments on national anthem protests

President Donald Trump said on Thursday night that he thinks New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will “regret” apologizing after his comments about protesting during the national anthem.

Brees apologized multiple times following his initial statement to Yahoo Finance earlier this month, in which he said he would “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag” while protesting during the national anthem. He even addressed an Instagram post directly to Trump, insisting that the issue had nothing to do with respecting the flag — something he seemed to finally realize after receiving immense backlash from all corners of the sports world, even from his own locker room.
