Tom Brady calls President Donald Trump's comments 'just divisive'
ESPN Funeral Home ^ | September 24 | Mike Reiss

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- 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." WEEI's "Kirk and Callahan" program, was different from how he handled a similar query after the team's 36-33 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. At that time, Brady said he didn't want to get into politics while speaking of the love he has for his teammates.

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 didn't say I approve or disapprove.

Brady is between a rock and a hard place.

His team, more than nearly all others, depends to Brady's ability to pull the team together and infuse it with spirit. I wish he had kept his mouth shut or said something like "politics has no place on the field."

Lies, falsehoods, and anti-Americanism is not “divisive”. But called out lies, falsehoods, and anti-Americanism is good! Welcome to USA 2017

“Give my regards to the “deep state”...you sure do speak like them!”

I walk away for an hour, come back and you guys are still yapping away:) You really don;t see that Trump is using all of you. This issue would have gone away on it’s own...it would have been handled between the NFL and the fans. They would have boycotted the games and the NFL would have found an answer. But Trump saw an opening to rile the base and get a bunch of fence sitting football fans to come on over to the GOP.

I don’t like what’s going on at the games any more than you do. But it would have run it’s course. Trump has no business in this...it’s between the fans and the NFL. Trump is just using Alinsky’s Rules. He’s using everyone of you. If you can’t see that then have at it:)

I predict that the NFL owners will convene at some point to find a solution to the problem. The longer this goes on, the worse it is for them.

I predict that the NFL owners will convene at some point and fail to find a solution to the problem. Their commitments within the global socialist power structure have already caused them to wait too long and paint themselves into a corner.

The NFL is over, it had a good run.
Who sits and watches these games anymore ?

It will be a face-saving solution worked out with the players. The longer it goes on, the more strident and effective will be the opposition. Ending taxpayer subsidies to the NFL and their palaces will become a bigger issue. And their anti-trust status will be examined. Trump just provided the opening salvo.

Revolt against Big Sports has been brewing for a long time, we finally got the spark to make it real.

Great video on race and Islam. Their scripture is very emphatic that Muhammed was white, and the Devil is black.

Islam... the Middle East’s Mormonism.

Tom, just STFU and play football!

You footballers know no more about politics, economics, world history, and U.S. history than do the Hollywood fools who constantly try to tell us how we should THINK like they do, but not LIVE like they do at their massively inflated pay levels.

In case you haven’t noticed, Hollywood theater revenues are tanking year-over-year due to injection of leftist propaganda into their already dreadful “entertainment” products. You and the NFL should take that lesson to heart, because if ya’ll don’t, the NFL is going to be headed into the same death spiral, because it’s a REALLY bad business decision to spit in the face of your customers.

Everybody is scared to death of blacks. If they don’t get what they want, they riot. If Brady’s black teammates were mad at him, they probably would sabotage the game.
