New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees pushed back against President Donald Trump on Friday night, just days after he and Trump were seemingly on the same side about protests during the national anthem at NFL games.
Brees told Yahoo Finance earlier this week that he would “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag” when asked about the possibility of players protesting again during the national anthem this season. He later apologized multiple times following immense criticism and backlash from all corners of the sports world, including from his own teammates.
