Brittany Brees, wife of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, took to Instagram on Saturday to blame white people for merely “loving one another” as “God loves us,” and not realizing that that behavior is “the problem” with race.
After explaining that she and Drew Brees are not racists, and have received several death threats in response to her husband’s now disavowed statement that he felt kneeling during the anthem was “disrespect,” Brittany Brees went on to say that merely reading about black history and not being racist, were not enough.
Drew Brees apologized twice for his criticism on NFL anthem protests. That drew a response from President Trump, who criticized the quarterback for backing down.
