Film director, producer and screenwriter Spike Lee complimented New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for his recent comments to President Donald Trump during a Zoom call with Saints players on Tuesday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter provided the report.
"The guest speaker on today’s Saints' team Zoom call was Spike Lee, per source," Schefter wrote. "Lee complimented Drew Brees for how he stood up to President Trump and then spoke 45 minutes about his experiences in race relations. The players loved Lee, said one person on the call."
Brees' comments were in response to the President's criticism of the quarterback's numerous apologies for remarks made about kneeling in protest against racial injustice and police brutality during the national anthem.
