LeBron James has responded to the comments that Saint's Quarterback Drew Brees made during an interview where he talked about Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem.
LeBron heard the comments and this is what he had to say
"WOW MAN! Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee?? Has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect of Flag of United States and our soldiers(men and women) who keep our land free. My father-in-law was one of those men who fought as well for this country. I asked him question about it and thank him all the time for his commitement. He never found Kap peaceful protest offensive because he and I both know what’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong! God bless you."
LeBron is absolutely correct! Kneeling during the National Anthem had nothing to do with the American Flag or the National Anthem. If you remember correctly, Colin first sat down during the anthem and then after speaking to an Army Green Beret Nate Boyer, he suggested kneeling. After that Colin took a knee! Plus he did this to bring attention to Police Brutality...NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FLAG!
When people say that, it makes me so mad because they haven't fully understood the story or even listened to what Colin has had to say!
I'm glad LeBron said something! He wasn't the only athlete to chime in though! Lots of people have been coming out!
Drew did eventually apologize!
