LeBron James, Aaron Rodgers & More Call Out Drew Brees For His Kneeling Comments

LeBron James, 35, is such a great dad! The NBA star’s wife Savannah Brinson, 33, shared the sweetest Father’s Day message when she took to Instagram on June 21. “Happy Father’s Day my babe!! You are immensely loved and appreciated!!” she captioned the series of snaps, adding a pink heart emoji. The first shot showed LeBron in the car with his kids Bronny, 15, Bryce, 12, and Zhuri, 5. The four sat in a convertible as their dad smiled for the camera as he took the selfie.

Famous for his blocking on the court, LeBron James is now turning his protective tactics to the voting booth.  Following the death of George Floyd and amid the Black Lives Matter movement, the NBA superstar and fellow Black athletes, including Jalen Rose and Skylar Diggins-Smith, as well as other entertainment figures like Kevin Hart, are joining together behind More Than a Vote, a new organization they've founded focused on "protecting African Americans' voting rights," according to a New York

It’s going to be a busy fall for LeBron James. Should the forward lead the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA finals, he’ll be on the court until October.

Drew Brees and his wife are looking to be part of the solution.

Just a few days after Drew Brees came under fire for his comments about kneeling during the national anthem, his wife, Brittany Brees, took to Instagram to issue her own apology. "WE ARE THE PROBLEM," she wrote in part of a post shared to their Brees Dream Foundation account.

Fox Sports commentator, Mike Hill, 49, is bothered by the timing of Drew Brees‘, 41, comments as the Black Lives Matter protests carry on across our nation. “When it came to Drew Brees, I just thought that it was tone deaf,” Mike told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY in an interview from his LA home on June 5. “I thought it was bad timing, I thought it was insensitive, I thought the first thing that popped out of his mouth was just wrong.”

NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem and raising of the American flag has never got as much attention — and shifts in opinion — as it has in the past 48 hours. It started out when New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in a June 3 interview said, “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America” by kneeling.

Twitter users think Donald Trump, 73, should be the one apologizing after the POTUS threw shade at Drew Brees‘ attempt to backtrack on his anti-kneeling comments. “I am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he’s 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…,” Trump tweeted on June 5.

LeBron James is calling out Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham for what some see as a double standard when it comes to her response to athletes sharing political opinions. James took to Twitter on Sunday to bring attention to Ingraham's support of recent political remarks by Drew Brees just a few years after she famously told James to «shut up and dribble» when he criticized Donald Trump.

Fox News personality Laura Ingraham is being called out for her apparent bias in respect to which athletes she deems worthy of having a voice outside of sports.

NFL superstar Drew Brees is getting an important lesson in social justice right now… let’s just hope he’s really listening and paying attention!

“WOW MAN!! [facepalm emoji],” tweeted LeBron James, 35, on June 3 while sharing a clip of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’s interview with Yahoo! Finance.
