Drew Brees Apologizes for Kneeling Comments: 'I Have Always Been an Ally'

Link: https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/06/04/drew-brees-apologizes-kneeling-comments

Quote: "In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country. They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful and have misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy. This could not be further from the truth, and is not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character."

How many protests have you attended? If you really feel this way and are in that much pain about it I can't see how you would NOT want to be on the front lines.

So, how many drew?
