By all metrics, Norvell seems to be a damn good person and he really does seem to care about his guys. He misspoke, and pissed off a lot of players.
Now, everything has been smoothed over, and it’s time for the Seminoles to get back to work. This is a prime example of what can happen when cooler heads prevail and you talk things out.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has issued another apology over his national anthem comments .
During a Wednesday interview with Yahoo , the legendary quarterback said he didn ’ t support kneeling during the anthem and talked about his grandfathers being in the military .
His comments were incredibly moderate and tons of football fans agree with standing for the anthem .
( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) Naturally , the year is 2020 , and he was quickly made to bend the knee to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , apparently , one apology just isn ’ t enough !

” He also said he wanted people to look into his “ eyes ” to see how “ sorry ” he is .
Watch and listen to his full comments below .
This is honestly just getting painful to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to issue the first apology .
Now , Brees has issued a second one .
Why are we doing this ?
Why is the mob coming for a man who has been a shining beacon of goodness in his community ?
I understand we ’ re in a tough place as a nation right now in the aftermath of George Floyd ’ s death , but coming for Drew Brees over his anthem stance is absurd .

At the end of the day , it ’ s sad to see we ’ re now at a place in America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requires an apology .

Naturally, the year is 2020, and he was quickly made to bend the knee to the social media mob and apologize.

This is honestly just getting painful to watch. There wasn’t a need to issue the first apology. Now, Brees has issued a second one.

WOW MAN!! ????????♂. Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee??

One of my brothers made a public statement yesterday that I disagreed with. He apologized & I accept it because that’s what we are taught to do as Christians. Now back to the movement! #GeorgeFloyd — Michael Thomas (@Cantguardmike) June 4, 2020
Of course, he has a lot of money on the line, and I understand him wanting to protect it. At the end of the day, it’s sad to see we’re now at a place in America where having an opinion shared by millions requires an apology.

While many protests following his death remained peaceful, in cities like Minneapolis, Washington, D.C. and New York City, violence erupted and led to looting, vandalism and buildings set ablaze.

Some have downplayed the looting and violence. Politicians, along with sympathetic members of the national media, lined up to apologize or justify the destruction.

They are back with firebombs. They’re back with bricks in our suburbs and our downtowns. That is something Mr. Esper clearly doesn’t understand.”
Wright also said much of the national media is “feeding this flame” with headlines like, “Peaceful protests are an important tool, but so is violence.” (RELATED: President Trump Walks Out Of White House, Holds Up Bible In Front Of St. John’s Church)
“If [Esper] doesn’t get it, doesn’t understand that the oath is to protect ourselves from threats, both foreign and domestic, by God, then get the hell out of the Pentagon and let somebody lead who gets it because that is the oath that he took,” Wright said.
President Donald Trump bluntly told governors during a Monday conference call that they needed to deploy the National Guard to “dominate” the streets and get ahead of the rioting and looting. The president said he is committed to using whatever federal assets he has control over, including active duty military members, to restore law and order.
“I am mobilizing all federal resources, civilian and military to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson, and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your Second Amendment rights,” Trump said during his Rose Garden address Monday.

‘There’s Always An Angle’: Tucker Carlson Has A Theory About Why Some Big Corporations Are ‘Paying’ For ‘Riots’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson listed several major U.S. corporations that have given money to various groups behind ongoing protests , many of which have turned into riots .
During the Thursday night “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” segment , Carlson speculated that those corporations ’ lack of support of small businesses devastated by the looting and destruction of property in many cities was because of a desire to reduce competition .
