NEW ORLEANS—In response to controversy over his previous statement that downplayed police brutality and focused on standing for the national anthem, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees admitted Thursday that he hasn’t trusted black people ever since a Falcons linebacker stole a football straight out of his hands. “I understand that people might be angry with me, but I have to speak from my own experience, which is that in 2009, a large black man came out of nowhere, shoved me, and stripped my football directly out of my hands,” said Brees, adding that the man who took his football was accompanied by “at least four or five other large black men” who were all wearing red and black, which he took to be gang colors. “Can you really blame me if I view black men suspiciously since that terrible day? I worked hard all my life to get that ball, and that large black linebacker—or maybe he was even a defensive end—ripped it out of my hands and just ran away. Meanwhile, I got shoved to the ground and not only did no one intervene, but the other black men around him started cheering. Where the heck was law enforcement? I could’ve been killed. It was just clear they have no respect for me, the grandson of World War II veterans. Honestly, since then I’ve been afraid to even leave the pocket.” Brees added that if the country was going to have a conversation about police brutality, it also needed to address the anti-white organizations that paid large black men huge sums of money to attack innocent quarterbacks like himself.

Omfg i love this meme. I’m a huge fan of the saints and this is probably the best meme made about him in years. I heard about the whole problem/debate between him and trump about the flag and black lives matter.

'It was just clear they have no respect for me, the grandson of World War II veterans.' There is so much packed into that sentence.

'Ouch, baby. Very ouch.'

Neptura 😂😂😂

Stop

He donated 5 million to the city of New Orleans after Katrina lmaoooo- he’s done more for black people than Obama. No disrespect to Obama.

Never Change

Bless you, Onion

way to re-enforce racial stereotypes.

I personally do not believe this article, “Say it ain’t so, Drew “

This might be funny, if accurate, but the Saints under Brees and Payton have OWNED the Dirty Birds.

Youre garbage onion - bad humor

Never stop onioning

I m brown but with the blacks

Did he ever find out who stole his jock strap? Asking for a friend.....

Welp, I guess he really won’t trust them after they choose to take a knee instead of protecting that ass on the field

Is this a joke?

Now do the one about all the white team owners banning black players who knelt for dead unarmed black men dying in the street

Who ever comes out with your content is just amazing. 😂🤣😂

BOOOOM!!!

I don’t know if I’m supposed to laugh or feel offended 🤣🤬🤷🏾‍♀️

Brees is funny because when he talks to black players, he talks with a black inflection in his voice—which makes him a gigantic hypocritical pussy.

That poor man.

Drew Brees apologizes for comments about kneeling protests: 'I stand with the black community'Drew Brees apologized on Thursday morning for his recent comments about players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice African-American soldiers fought in WWII like his grandfather. All soldiers fought for all our citizens’ rights to peaceful protest. Forced to by people who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. He supports the black community but also believes in respecting the flag. Been interesting to watch the “anti fascists” enforce conformity.
