Patriots’ McCourty Brothers Sound Off On Drew Brees For Speaking Out Against Kneeling

The McCourty twins took part in the latest Drew Brees saga, and some analysts would definitely agree with him. Devin and Jason were among the many football players to sound off on the Saints quarterback for his comments on anthem kneelers. The brothers took to their joint Twitter account to say that Brees’ comments are nothing but a disgrace.

The McCourty twins talked about the same issue in the latest episode of their podcast, “Double Coverage.” Jason believes that the problem goes well beyond Brees.

“It’s not about Drew Brees,” he said. “It’s not about Jason or Devin McCourty. Yes, it’s about realizing, ‘Alright, here’s an issue and we need to find a solution for that issue.’ You don’t have an issue with Drew Brees when he makes those statements. You have an issue with that train of thought, and that thought is what we’re trying to move away from.

“It’s not about forgiving or hating. I’ve never hated Drew Brees. I don’t even know Drew Brees. It was never about that. It was just how can we get people to now not look through those lenses? He’s a guy who if he doesn’t look through those lenses, he can get a lot of other people to feel the same way. So, hopefully, some good turns out from that.”

The McCourty twins had a different take on the Drew Brees issue

The Saints quarterback issued an apology. He apologized to everyone affected. Brees wrote a message on Instagram and also shared a video.

His comments triggered an avalanche of reactions, and many athletes reacted to him. LeBron James, the McCourty twins, and many others reacted to it. He made a really big mistake, but it turns out it was just a misunderstanding. Sort of.

The entire nation still struggles with racial injustice and police brutality. The death of George Floyd has made us ask questions. Where did we fail? How can we solve the problem? Thousands of families need help. They all want to be heard. They all lost someone. Floyd’s family has so many questions and someone has to do something about it. A caring dad died, and we can’t just ignore his death.
