President Donald Trump said Friday that Saints quarterback Drew Brees should not have apologized for his comments regarding NFL players kneeling for the national anthem.
Brees apologized twice on Thursday—first in the form of text post shared on Instagram and second in the form of on-camera remarks shared to Instagram—for saying that he would "never agree with anybody disrespecting" the United States flag.
Trump said on Twitter that he's a "big fan" of Brees, but added that the quarterback "should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag.
