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

Of course he’s being divisive. He’s dividing the dividers from the proponents of cohesiveness. So yeah, he’s divisive.
“Tom Brady....a lightweight. Silly boy...”
Do you even watch football? Did you see the game yesterday where a 412 year old QB was sacked 6 times and hit 14 times and still threw for almost 400 yards and FIVE touchdowns and led the team on a game winning drive of 75 yards, all in the air??
“Brady is a backstabbing fraud. And Id been his biggest supporter and a Oats fan since the 70s.:
I guess we know not to trust you with a friendship.
Youtube is full of videos of fans burning their gear.
No need to go to the stadiums we paid for.
No more stadiums at taxpayer expense.
Brady got the memo from the players union.
I stopped watching two years ago haven't missed it but also because I don't watch. My family doesn't watch so the advertisers lost all of us.
Eliminating 1 fan(I watched a couple games on sunday) eliminated multiple viewers.
I imagine that is quite common. It seems they didn't need our money anyhow. Man there is an opportunity here
I hope all people remember this the next time your team threatens to leave unless they get a new stadium with lots of luxuray boxes.
I propose instead of funding the monopoly that is the NFL we support inter-mural leagues in our communities with the winner getting extra money for the municipalities.
The more I'm away from professional sports the more contrived and silly it all seems. But I got rid of cable and life got better.
Trump is President of the United States of America. He is defending the national flag and anthem of the country he leads. He would be derelict in his duties not to speak out against this blatant affront to our nation. Kraft and his fellow owners can and should put a stop to this vile attack. The politicization of the NFL rests squarely on the shoulders of the owners.
There is no such thing as free speech in the NFL, which places all kinds of restrictions on the players. The only "free speech" is that approved by the league. Attacking the flag and the nation is accepted in order to promote BLM, anti-cop rhetoric and actions, and the false narrative of black oppression in the country. This sends a dangerous and distorted message to those influenced by sports.
Rember this? The St. Louis Police Officers Association is demanding an apology from the NFL after five St. Louis Rams football team players walked onto a game at their home field Sunday with their hands up in solidarity with Michael Brown, the unarmed black teen shot and killed by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer in August.
Cool, you do that. It’s a free country.
No Brady...you and your globalist buddies are the divisive ones..trying to set Americans against each other and to make them lose their constitutional heritage! Trump just called you out as the divisive ones that you are!
No jackass.
Colin and all his friends and their whiny bratty posturing is divisive.
You all did it FIRST.
Stop presuming no blowback = “free speech”. You have no right to no blowback for your actions.
You will be the last fan standing, while they kneel.
Good point. Just thought it may make a nice image for the media to cover. The new tailgating.
What does playing a game well have to do with patriotism and respect for the national anthem and the flag? How informed are Brady's political views? What are they?
Someone should take those 25 points and read them to the kneeling players.
Of course they were divisive, as they should have been.
Normal Americans have been beguiled for 50+ years by the siren song of unity, of “bringing us together”. But it is wrong to unite with those who wish you evils.
A leaders job is to divide - the good and wholesome from the wicked and degenerate, the sheep from the goats if you will.
People who disrespect our flag are not of us. Remarks directed at them are, by right, divisive.
A lot of these guys have sustained multiple blows to the head.
A quarterback will get smashed if his teammates don’t block for him. He is copping out to save his ass.
Never watch it....lightweight was a pun...nothing more
so the NFL kneeling has joined Black Lives Matter
