New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees did not hold back Monday when asked about Colin Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the national anthem before his San Francisco 49ers faced the Green Bay Packers in a preseason contest Friday.

“I wholeheartedly disagree,” Brees said. “Not that he wants to speak out about a very important issue. No, he can speak out about a very important issue.
