“He may not totally understand it may have been not exactly the way he wanted to express it, but he can’t be afraid to say that,” said the former NFL Coach.
Former NFL coach Tony Dungy spoke out about Drew Brees’s allegedly problematic flag comments on “The Pat McAfee Show,” saying that he’s not going to “downgrade” the Saints quarterback.
Brees faces backlash after sharing his thoughts on NFL players kneeling during the national anthem in an interview with Yahoo Finance earlier this week.
“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country,” Brees said.
According to Dungy, Brees isn’t necessarily at fault for the way he spoke.
“He may not totally understand it may have been not exactly the way he wanted to express it, but he can’t be afraid to say that,” continued Dungy.
