Drew Brees Speaks Up Against the Ills of the Society

In what was an insightful post, Brees said that a substantive change can be brought about by first acknowledging that a problem exists and then taking up the responsibility to resolve it. Additionally, he said that we are all the same, irrespective of our language, race, color, or religion.

It is often our experiences, surroundings, and education that bring changes in our perspective and make us see our differences enough to discriminate. Thus, we must raise our children to love and respect all.

The protests sparked by the death of George Floyd have questioned the injustice and discrimination deeply prevalent in society. Many footballers have also voiced their support to the protests.

Brees’s post comes in the wake of these protests, which turned violent in many places. Drew Brees is considered among the League’s elite quarterbacks. He has 547 touchdowns and 77,416 yards in his career so far. In March, the quarterback and his wife donated $5 million to coronavirus relief funds.
