\n President Trump on Friday reentered the fray over NFL players protesting police brutality by kneeling during the National Anthem \u2014 knocking New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees for apologizing and demanding there be \u201cNO KNEELING!\u201d during the \u201cStar-Spangled Banner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he\u2019s truly one of the greatest quarterbacks, but he should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag. OLD GLORY is to be revered, cherished, and flown high,\u201d Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag \u2014 NO KNEELING!\u201d<\/p>\n

Brees said Wednesday that kneeling during the National Anthem was \u201cdisrespecting the flag\u201d \u2014 though he soon apologized after taking heat for his remarks from players, activists and others for making the statement after the death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s not much that I could say that would make things any better right now,\u201d Brees said in an Instagram video.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I just want you to see in my eyes how sorry I am for the comments that I made yesterday. I know they hurt many people, especially friends, teammates, former teammates, loved ones, people that I care and respect deeply,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I would have laid out what was on my heart in regards to the George Floyd murder, Ahmaud Arbery, the years and years of social<\/a> injustice, police brutality and the need for so much reform and change in regards to legislation and so many other things to bring equality to our black communities,\u201d Brees said, referring to another African-American man who was killed while jogging by a former law enforcement official in Georgia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, and I will do better, and I will be part of the solution. And I am your ally. I know no words will do that justice, that\u2019s going to have to be [earned].\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s tweets came as the nation remained mired in a bitter controversy over race and police brutality following Floyd\u2019s death at the hands of Minneapolis cops, a killing that sparked widespread protests.<\/p>\n

Trump has been lashing out at NFL players and other athletes for kneeling during the anthem since then-San Francisco 49ers\u2019 QB Colin Kaepernick started the trend during the 2016 preseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cWouldn\u2019t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, \u2018Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He\u2019s fired. He\u2019s fired!\u2019\u201d Trump said in Alabama in 2017.<\/p>\n

Kaeperneck remained on the bench during the third preseason game<\/a>, but began kneeling during the fourth after speaking with former NFL player and\u00a0 ex-Green Beret Nate Boyer told him it would show more respect to members of the military.<\/p>\n

But the quarterback was soon bounced from the league and has not played since \u2014 though dozens of other NFL players have followed his lead and continue to kneel during the anthem.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
