Tom Brady Criticizes Trump Over 'Divisive' NFL Comments

Tom Brady joined dozens of other NFL players Monday by speaking out against President Donald Trump s divisive criticism of players who choose to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and systemic racism.

The New England Patriots quarterback, who Trump has described as a good friend , said he certainly disagrees with the presidents recent comments, in which Trump called for NFL team owners to fire protesting players during a Friday rally in Alabama.

I thought it was just divisive, Brady said during an interview with Boston radio WEEIs Kirk & Callahan on Monday. Like I said, I just want to support my teammates... I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust. Those are the values that my parents instilled in me and its how I try to live every day.

Trump reiterated his criticism in a flurry of tweets throughout the weekend and into Monday morning after calling people like former San Fransciso 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a son of a bitch for protesting during The Star-Spangled Banner.

Many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday (which was a small percentage of total). These are fans who demand respect for our Flag!

#StandForOurAnthem
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 25, 2017

But during Mondays interview, Brady defended those who participate in peaceful, respectful protest.

I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want to do, he said. If you dont agree, that is fine. You can voice your disagreement, I think that is great. Its part of our democracy. As long as it is done in a peaceful, respectful way, that is what our country has been all about.

Its unclear whether Brady supports Trump politically, though he was spotted with a Make American Great Again hat in his locker two years ago. Still, hes one of several NFL figures who have called out the presidents Friday comments despite having previously been on good terms with Trump.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who donated $1 million to Trumps inaugural celebrations, released a statement Sunday condemning the presidents remarks.

I am deeply disappointed by the tone of the comments made by the president on Friday, said Kraft, who arranged for Trump to get his own custom Super Bowl LI ring after the Patriots won the NFL championship in February. I am proud to be associated with so many players who make such tremendous contributions in positively impacting our communities.

Kraft added that he supported the right of players to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful.

On the field, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan linked arms in solidarity with members of the team. Like Kraft, Khan donated $1 million to Trumps inauguration.

Khan later said in a statement that it was a privilege to stand by his players.

Our team and the National Football League reflects our nation, with diversity coming in many forms race, faith, our views and our goals, he said. We have a lot of work to do, and we can do it, but the comments by the President make it harder. Thats why it was important for us, and personally for me, to show the world that even if we may differ at times, we can and should be united in the effort to become better as people and a nation.

Former Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan went a step further and said Sunday that he regretted ever supporting Trump . Ryan, now a commentator for ESPN, lamented having agreed to introduce Trump at a campaign rally in Buffalo, New York, in April 2016.

Im pissed off, Ryan said on ESPN Sunday. When he asked me to introduce him at a rally in Buffalo, I did that. But Im reading these comments and its appalling to me and Im sure its appalling to almost any citizen in our country. It should be.

You know, calling our players SOBs and all that kind of stuff, thats not the men that I know, he continued. The men that I know in the locker room Im proud of. Im proud to be associated with those people. I apologized for being pissed off but guess what? Thats it, because right away Im associated with what Donald Trump stands for and all that because I introduced him. I never signed up for that, I never wanted that. That doesnt mean I support 100 percent of the things he says.
