Fox Sports anchor blasts Trump for attacking NFL players [View all]

Source: The Hill

Fox Sports host Terry Bradshaw blasted President Trump on Sunday after Trump declared that NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem should be fired or suspended.

“If our country stands for anything, folks, it’s freedom. People died for that freedom. I’m not sure if our president understands those rights. That every American has the right to speak out also to protest," the longtime Fox commentator said.

"The president of the United States came out attacking NFL players for them exercising their freedom of speech. While I don’t condone the protesting our national anthem, this is America," he added.

Bradshaw, a hall of fame quarterback, said the president should turn his attention to more pressing issues affecting the nation rather than bullying players in the league who decide to kneel as the anthem plays before the start of each game.
