Richard Sherman joined a large group of NFL players angered and saddened by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees saying he still believes kneeling during the national anthem is “disrespecting the flag” on Wednesday.
The 49ers star cornerback called Brees “beyond lost” and made it clear the peaceful protest never had anything to do with going against the military.

Brees is probably not the man for the job.
