Seahawks' Sherman, Bennett respond to Trump's rants against NFL player protests [View all]
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman says President Donald Trump's comments about players who kneel during the national anthem are "divisive" and "unacceptable."
Trump said during a speech Friday night that NFL owners should fire players who kneel during "The Star-Spangled Banner." And he suggested that fans show their disapproval of the demonstrations by walking out of the stadium in protest.
The president's comments prompted reaction by NFL players, and by Saturday morning, many of them, including Sherman, expressed their condemnation on Twitter.
"The behavior of the President is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. If you do not Condemn this divisive Rhetoric you are Condoning it!!" Sherman tweeted.
