\n Drew Brees\u2019 effort at damage control has missed the mark for some. The Saints\u2019 star quarterback tried to walk back his controversial Wednesday comments \u2014 in which he said he would never support players who kneeled during the national anthem \u2014 writing on Instagram that he is not the enemy and \u201cit breaks my heart to know the pain I caused.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t nearly enough for players like Tobias Harris of the 76ers and Giants safety Jabrill Peppers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNah, we heard you the first time,\u201d Peppers, an African-American from New Jersey, tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake this for what it is, if you\u2019re trying to issue an apology, a press release is not the route.\u201d Harris tweeted. \u201cTake your ass on camera and apologize. Then go take some actions forward to show us\/yourself that you actually are sorry. Morning @drewbrees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Podcast host Jody Avirgan pointed out the photo Brees posted was a stock photo labeled \u201chandshake against racism.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of his Saints teammates, linebacker Demario Davis, was more gracious.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is a form of true leadership,\u201d he said on CNN. \u201cThat\u2019s taking ownership. What we had hoped the first time was that Drew would elaborate more on racism and the sentiments of the black community. He admitted he missed the mark. For him to come out and say \u2018I missed the mark, I\u2019ve been insensitive but what I\u2019m going to start doing is listening and learning from the black community and finding ways that I can help them.\u2019 I think that\u2019s a model for all of America. . . . For him to admit that he was wrong and say I can do better and I will do better. I think that is leadership at its finest.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Brees drew backlash for telling Yahoo Finance he would never agree with anyone disrespecting the American flag when asked about players protesting police brutality and racial inequality at a time protests and looting have broken out across the country following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
