After receiving backlash for his comments regarding players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem Wednesday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees apologized Thursday on Instagram.
During an interview Wednesday with Yahoo Finance that comes amid recent protests brought about by the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, Brees stood firm to his position that kneeling during the national anthem constitutes disrespect to both the American flag and the United States, an issue that has received renewed attention in the wake of widespread protests over police killings of black Americans.
“I would like to apologize to my friends, teammates, the City of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community and anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday,” Brees posted on Instagram Thursday, part of a longer message.
Brees, when asked during the interview about kneeling during the anthem, mentioned his grandfather’s service in the military.
The interview question stemmed from the belief that the NFL will see more players protesting police brutality and systemic racism in 2020 during the anthem.
Who Was Joe Louis?
Joe Louis, a professional American boxer, was regarded as the most famous black person in his day after he became the World Heavyweight Champion in 1937. Louis kept the title for an astounding 12 years, only giving it up when he retired in 1949. Joe Louis was also considered the first black to achieve national hero status; a status he earned when he defeated German boxer Max Schemling in the famous 1938 rematch.
Dates: May 13, 1914 -- April 12, 1981
Also Known As: Joe Louis Barrow (born as), Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber
Humble Beginnings
Joe Louis Barrow, the seventh of eight children, was born on May 13, 1914, to rural Lafayette, Alabama sharecroppers Munroe and Lillie Barrow. Joe, who was one-quarter Cherokee from his mothers side, weighed a whopping 11 pounds at birth.
Life was very hard for Joes family. When Joe was only two years old, his father was committed to the Searcy State Hospital for the Colored Insane. Soon thereafter, Joes mother received word that her husband had died. In truth, he had not. Munroe lived another 24 years, confined to an insane asylum and oblivious of his famous son’s successes.
Lillie, who believed herself a widow, embarked on a lonely life of working hard in the fields to support her large family. Four years later, in 1920, Lillie remarried. The Barrow family’s life improved a bit when Lillie married Pat Brooks, a local construction worker, who was a widower with five children.
As a young boy, Joe suffered from a slight stammer, which made him quiet and shy. He spent a lot of time outside, climbing trees and playing. On Sundays, he would attend a small Baptist church with his family. During weekdays, Joe would try to skip school as often as he could.
In 1926, 12-year-old Joe and his family joined the Great Migration and moved to Detroit, Michigan, where factory work was abundant.
Reluctant Schoolboy
Due to his rural upbringing and very little formal education, Joe was painfully unprepared for Detroits public school system. After being placed in classes

With a justified distrust of unproven vaccines, and perceived limited participation by African Americans in clinical trials that led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines, many question whether African Americans will accept vaccination.
Everyone who will receive the coronavirus vaccine will also get a record card to log shot histories and help remind of due dates for the follow-up doses.
[Nyasa Times] Vice-President Saulos Chilima has set the tone for his consultation with CEOs of parastatals about the direction they should take to improve efficiency and service delivery.
With that said, the world, including pharmaceutical companies and businesses, are scrambling to create a vaccine.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that even though a vaccine hasn’t been proven yet, it’s not going to stop the production of what could be the vaccine.
“We’re going to start manufacturing doses of the vaccines way before we even know that the vaccine works, so that by the end of the year the prediction of the statistical analysis and the projection of cases indicate that we may know whether its effective, efficacious or not by maybe November, December, which means that by that time we hopefully would have close to a 100 million doses,” Fauci said in early June during a live video interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“So it isn’t as if we’re going to make the vaccine show its effective and then have to wait a year to rev up to millions and millions of doses.
