The leftists will offer that Brees can say what he wants but must take the consequences of job loss, hate, loss of sponsorships, having people scream at him in restaurants, demonstrate outside his home, harass his kids and wife, etc.
The right did the same to Kapernick but less extreme. Kapernick did lose opportunities from his stance. He probably should have apologized or somehow clarified his message.
Taking all that into consideration, what would you do?
