STFU Shannon.

I'm sure he won't. Control your emotions and understand why all this is happening. There is a disparity in how certain groups of people are treated based on hate.

“I'm sure he won't. Control your emotions and understand why all this is happening. There is a disparity in how certain groups of people are treated based on hate.“. Show me. No one has shown me that Chauvin was racist. We don’t know that he treated Floyd like that just because he was black. Maybe he was fed up with him resisting and Floyd was under the influence and it was just too much for the cop. That doesn’t make him a racist. Show me where he posted on FB that he wants to go kill a POC.

Seems all the hate is coming from the black side to me.

SSpaniel•47 months

What... did his comments affect Drew's ability to throw the football and make decisions on the field?

Doormat•47 months

Sharpe has always been just a loudmouth idiot.

randybobandy•47 months

frick off shanonn. The flag means everything, don't disrespect it dumbass.

CanebreakCajun•47 months

Does Shannon have any clue how much Drew has done for low income black people in NOLA. A lot more than Shannon.

DrSteveBrule•47 months

"He doesn't care about us" as he has literally donated millions of dollars and countless hours of time to improving the lives of blacks throughout his career

pellietigersaint•47 months

No Shannon, Drew Bress probably doesn't care about YOU.

AllenTXTiger•47 months

jdrn21, Drew does care about Shannon. You probably don't. And that's ok, because Shannon probably wouldn't care about you. See how that works.

hottub•47 months

Guarantee that Drew will get the loudest standing ovation of his career during the first dome game. Hell, he may get it on the road.

Pavoloco83•47 months

Shannon Sharpe can just shut the frick up. That guy is a horses arse on a good day.

jeff70121•47 months

"He don't care about us"...Wow!

Geauxboy•47 months

Exactly. It's all about black people to them. And, if this guy doesn't think the cards are stacked in black peoples favor: that terrible quote came from a man paid to speak on TV.

AllenTXTiger•47 months

Geauxboy, great fricking point! But guess what? It's not all about black people. It's about injustice. That's what got Brees in this crap, his and your thinking. Wow is right!

TheTigershark•47 months

I call for Shannon Sharpe to retire from television after his comments! ...Does it work both ways, of-fricking-course not.

ccomeaux•47 months

glad to know SS speaks for all black Americans

tigersaint74•47 months

Why, because he has an opinion and he loves this country and doesn't want our flag disrespected?

AllenTXTiger•47 months

It's not about the flag, he made it about the flag. Listen with your ears and not your emotions. Wow

jeff70121•47 months

All things aside, Drew would be better off retiring and not because SS says so. He will have a target on his back all year. Nobody can play well under that microscope. Retire, get out of NOLA and move anywhere you want. You can kiss the Saints season goodbye!

tigergirl10•47 months

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read today. My family just ordered 4 Brees jerseys. He has A TON of support and love.

arcalades•47 months

so to qualify for the NFL you gotta care for "us"? Sharpe loves to double down on stupid.

cwil177•47 months

These people are fricking lunatics

sheek•47 months

Full blown mental.

NakaTrash•47 months

Shannon should retire from life

AllenTXTiger•47 months

So should you. He's entitled to use his platform just like Drew did. So you see, it works both ways Mr. Equality!

SomeLSUguy•47 months

Here's the thing... we do not know what Brees was talking about 5 mins before or after that comment. For all we know, he had just finished a 10 min discourse on the topic in which he acknowledged there is a problem and maybe he even offered a solution... But we will never know the full scope of the situation because the reporter chose to isolate that one comment. We just do not know... But we do know that Brees has a reputation for being compassionate towards the people he interacts with (regardless of race), so for me to believe he made that comment with the intent to hurt anybody or be insensitive...

Gnash•47 months

This is exactly right. Consider the source, Yahoo, who we already know has not journalistic integrity.

js1591•47 months

AllenTXTiger, you are a racist.

AllenTXTiger•47 months

js159130, far from it. Are you?

JakeFromStateFarm•47 months

This is outrage culture at its finest. “I don’t agree with you, so I’m going to destroy you and take away your livelihood.”

Mr. Hangover•47 months

These same trash arse athletes probably supported and glorified ray lewis the whole time he was in the league. White people gonna be taking Ls for the foreseeable future

AllenTXTiger•47 months

Not really... but your last sentence is probably more accurate, because change is necessary for systemic equality.

CanebreakCajun•47 months

The last part of AllenTXTiger's comment shows all he cares about. He is more interested in bringing him white people, than everyone figuring out how to bring balck people up.

D500MAG•47 months

AllenTXTiger Change like ending welfare? Ending all government handouts?

This is right from the horse's mouth! And what's "controversial" Larry? Anything that people disagree about? Maybe you should ask Saban what he thinks.

NakaTrash•47 months

Agreed. Larry—you need to edit title to say “Brees’ benign comment” and “Sharpe’s ridiculous request”
