New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees issued a second apology Thursday evening for comments he made Wednesday about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem in protest against police brutality and racial injustice.
Brees uploaded an Instagram video apologizing into the camera so people could "see in my eyes how sorry I am":
"Step-by-step you will see my heart for exactly what it is and the way everyone around me sees it," the video's caption reads. "I'm sorry it has taken this long to act and to participate in a meaningful way but I am your ally in this fight.
