Tom Brady: Trump's comments were divisive

quote:
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady directly addressed remarks by President Donald Trump on Monday morning, saying, "I certainly disagree with what he said. I thought it was just divisive."
During his radio interview Monday, Brady was asked if he thought Trump had bigger things to worry about than whether a player kneels during the national anthem. After saying he disagreed with Trump's remarks, Brady added, "I just want to support my teammates. I'm never one that says, 'Oh, that's wrong or that's right.' But I do believe in what I believe in, and I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust. Those are the values that my parents instilled in me and that's how I try to live every day.
"I've been blessed to be in a locker room with guys from all over the United States over the course of my career. Some of my great friends are from Florida, Virginia, New York, Montana, Colorado, Texas. I think one thing about football is that it brings so many guys together, guys that you would never have the opportunity to be around, whether it was in college and all the way into the pros. We're all different. We're all unique. That's what makes us all so special."
Brady was asked if he had ever had conversations with teammates who had questions about his friendship with Trump, and he said that has not happened.

Divisive is the new term of the week. Nothing more divisive than a group of millionaires shitting on a Country that men and woman died for.

The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Sitting and separating is divisive

Brady is entitled to his opinion. But at least he stood with his hand on his heart during the anthem.

Brady would still vote for him again though.

It's laughable no one wants to confront one of the leaders of this movement for blatantly lying about the LVPD incident. POS Michael Bennett lies his was off then the media acts like it never happened.

He's not wrong, but the entire situation is massively divisive. The funniest part is the fans have the most power in this situation. If all the people who complained about it actually bothered to turn off their TV sets and do something else for a couple of weeks, the kneeling would instantly be addressed. The problem is, like everything else, only lip service is given.
To me it speaks to a larger problem at hand, screaming for change while not putting yourself out there. I constantly read all of these frankly idiotic statements on TD, FB, Twitter, and other social media sites about how shitty everything is. None of those people are doing anything to better themselves, their community, or their kids. Fun fact, throwing up a "love" filter on FB or Snapchat DOES NOTHING. Running to TD to bitch about "unpatriotic athletes needing to shut up" DOES NOTHING. Fans were vocal about commercials, actually changed the channel because of it, and look what happened THEY MADE POSITIVE CHANGES.
Until the people in this country learn they collectively have more power than any politician, company, or special interest group, the system will remain broken.

It seems like all players and coaches who have made comments about this have said the same thing. I wonder if they were ordered to stand against Trump.

just because the players are doing something divisive doesn't make what he said any less divisive

As has been mentioned, I think the person making a statement is a huge part of it. I often see stories that are shared to the point of being viral about a random BLM activist or a KKK guy that has no formal position in either organization. I don't think we should give increased attention to these types of people as it only stirs the pot. If it's a President of BLM or KKK or other elected spokesman, that's a little different.
When it's the President of the USA, that's a big deal. I knew Trump had a big ego and uses Twitter too much but was surprised that his words were as divisive as they were. I expected him to be somewhat divisive but not 'Yugely Divisive' like they were.

That's not real. There's no rule in the NFL about the National Anthem
Correct, it's not in the NFL rulebook. It's in the NFL operations manual.
Look it up dumbass.
