Shaquille O’Neal urged the New Orleans Saints last Thursday not to let the media divide them in the wake of Drew Brees’ national anthem comments, a source confirmed to ESPN. “They’re going to try to divide you, just like they divided us with the Lakers!

Don’t let the media divide you! Don’t let social media divide you!”
