New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees dropped the ball. In a time when everyone is calling for the entire world to be united and to stand up against social injustice, the NFL star has come out with a tone-deaf statement that has brought him to the wrong side of the nations' protests.

After all the racism that has happened in the NFL and across the country, Brees still doesn't support kneeling during the national anthem, which didn't sit well with a lot of folks.

Brees received a ton of flak from New Orleans locals as well, as they let out their real feelings about their NFL star player.

After initially coming out to support the movement in social media, it seems that Brees invalidated his Instagram posts. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, the 41-year-old NFL veteran came out and said that he disagrees with and doesn't support the idea of kneeling during the national anthem as a sign of protest.

“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America,” Drew Brees said.

The Texas-native has two veteran grandfathers who fought in WWII, so he has always treated the American flag as sacred.

“So every time I stand with my hand over my heart, looking at that flag and singing the national anthem, that’s what I think about… thinking about all that has been sacrificed, not just those in the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil rights movement of the 60s. And all that has been endured by so many people,” Brees added.

In 2016, Brees also came out to “wholeheartedly disagree” with Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest in the NFL.
