Brees never should have apologized to the liberal mob in the first place. His rights to free speech are just as important as anyone's.
It's sad that we've fallen so far as a nation that simply defending our anthem and our flag is so controversial that it's something over which you can lose your job and livelihood.
While all Americans certainly can speak their minds as much as they please, we all would indeed be better off if James would recognize God-given rights to speak freely is a two-way street—Drew Brees included.
It's sickening that Brees was hit with such a vitriolic level of backlash simply for taking a stand for the national anthem.
