    LOL Imagine still thinking it's about the flag.

    A quote just now from Dan "The Common Man" Cole Midday KFAN host.
    "Which is the worst publicity stunt?
    The Vikings signing Colin Kaepernick to make a statement on police brutality or Don Trump holding up a Bible?"

    Somewhat known in Austin, but not discussed widely -- Drew is as big a sociopath as Lance.

    Holding up the bible and make his signature grim face about to take it to the restroom.

    Probably the one that requires law enforcement to ram over peaceful protestors to get that publicity stunt accomplished.

    For what it's worth Common Man is getting criticized by Trump supporters for calling Trump holding up a Bible a publicity stunt.

    I'm curious as to what else Trumpsters would call it

    Disgusting. Lost all respect for Brees with that one video. Using the flag as a defense mechanism to descredit a protest is disgusting.

    Didn't a black player for the Saints (I think a QB) tell GW to get the **** off the field post-Katrina on national TV? Lulz.

    I hope after every sack and int the defensive player takes a knee.

    This is not going to go well for Brees.

    Yeah, that’s a pretty tone deaf response from Brees.

    He probably thought: easiest way to punt on this question is talk about the flag, say something generic about needing to improve the system and finish it with something about unity.

    Meanwhile, we’re cringing for the entire thing. Do better.

    If true that would not only make a statement but put Kap back in the game he loves.

    That video is alarming and disturbing.

    That's what's wrong with our country. There is so much of that.

    He's a good christian with high family values. They will say whatever lie they tell themselves and then turn around and say deep state or that they knew he wasn't a saint when you point out the Cheating on his wives, p*rn stars, his very good terrible memory, scam university, lies, grabbing ladies by their *****, comment on a 13 year old, his crooked lawyers, made in china....
