Brees irate over backlash from promotional video
METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees gave an impassioned and defiant response Thursday to backlash he has received over a video he recorded to promote "Bring Your Bible to School Day."
The national campaign was started by Focus on the Family -- a Christian conservative group known for its anti-LGBTQ policy.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback said he was not aware that the campaign was affiliated with the type of hateful or anti-gay messaging or lobbying that he has since read about. And he was irate that at least one article was written with a headline that said, "Drew Brees does video for anti-gay hate group."
