Drew Brees has been taking some heat this week for his “Blackout Tuesday” post. On Instagram, the New Orleans Saints quarterback posted a black photo with the hashtag #blackouttuesday to support black people after the death of George Floyd. However, one fan was critical of his post and shared a photo of Brees and his family with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Donald Trump has been criticized for not being supportive of “Blackout Tuesday” or the Black Lives Matter movement.
Along with that, Brees has been critical of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. When Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the 2016 season, Brees was against it, and he has not wavered from it nearly four years later. He looks at kneeling during the national anthem as a form of “disrespect” to the military personnel who work hard to make sure the country maintains its freedom. Fans did not hold back when the Twitter user revealed Brees hanging out with Trump earlier this year.

Thousands of people thinking: can he really be that racist if he throws the ball to Michael Thomas that much?

He doesn’t either way. He is being held accountable for trying to use this as a PR stunt.

Regardless. Everyone has a right to their opinion. If he’s showing support I believe that he means it. Do y’all want anything to change?? then be more receptive of others! We don’t want anyone who likes trump to support????

That is the most ignorant statement I have heard in a while. Philanthropy as a whole was created to help fix the images of robber barons. Sandusky “did more for and gave more money to young Black men than me, is he an angel by default as well?

I mean, Brees IS pictured hanging out with a serial sexual predator and alleged child rapist in that photo…

So what? It doesn’t mean he supports him or his policies or even means he thinks trump is good person, it’s literally just a photo, Drew has never been vocal about his political beliefs because that’s his business, y’all look for any reason to make drew look like a bad guy.

I honestly know nothing about Drew Brees. Just saw the photo and recognized the alleged rapist next to him.

Does supporting trump mean that you must be racist and bigoted?
