This is the best of outkick the coverage with Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio.

Welcome in Friday edition outkick the coverage. I hope you are having a great day wherever you are.

Yesterday show I'm not sure I've gotten more positive feedback in a long time than from our discussion about Drew breeze.

We took calls. We debated. We discussed and over the course of the day after Drew breeze apologized.

Everybody weighed in. I spent time last night sitting around thinking about where we are right now as a country and how it impacts the world of sports.

And I think if you keep an open mind and you follow me along here you're going to see how these threads dovetail and I'm going to start in the world of sports with Drew breeze.

Okay. I have been preaching on this show for the past couple of weeks something that matters to me a great deal.

And it is the difference between a fact and an opinion.

We all should be entitled to our own opinions.

And so Drew breeze is opinion on the national anthem which we are going to play again for you right here along with the question that was surrounding it.

I want you to listen to this and then I want you to follow me along as I build a grand theory connecting all of these different threads the coronavirus, the protests, the riots and Drew breeze.

But first of all Drew breeze was asked about standing for the anthem and he said this.

Everyone is looking back now at Kaepernick's protests were a few years ago and obviously they were always about police brutality.
