New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is at odds with Donald Trump on the issue of player protests of the national anthem, calling the US President's comments "just divisive."
Brady told Boston's WEEI-FM that he "certainly" disagrees with Trump's comment that NFL owners should fire any player who refuses to stand for the anthem.
Patriots locked arms with some teammates during the "Star Spangled Banner" on Sunday against the win over Houston Texans while other players kneeled.
Brady has called Trump a "good friend" in the past and one of Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats was spotted in Brady's locker in 2015. Trump has often praised the quarterback on social media.
Brady skipped a White House visit with Trump in April when the team celebrated its fifth Super Bowl title.
