CHARLOTTE - The controversy over President Donald Trump's remarks directed at the NFL has taken the league by storm since Friday evening.
The NFL, NFLPA and numerous teams, including the Saints, issued statements in the past 48 hours renouncing Trump's comments, including one where he used the phrase "son of a bitch" to describe players kneeling in protest of social justice issues during the national anthem.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees understood the attention surrounding the controversy so much so that started his postgame press conference to address Trump's remarks before taking questions following the Saints' 34-13 win over the Carolina Panthers.
