Patriots quarterback Tom Brady came out against President Trump's NFL comments this morning with Boston's WEEI hosts Kirk and Callahan during his weekly Monday morning radio hit:
"Yeah, I certainly disagree with what [Trump] said. I thought it was just divisive... Like I said, I just want to support my teammates. I am never one to say, 'Oh, that is wrong. That is right.' I do believe in what I believe in. I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust. Those are the values that my parents instilled in me."
Why it matters: Trump has called Brady a friend and described him as "the BEST quarterback."
