NFL star Tom Brady brands Trump’s protest comments 'divisive'

Brady has called Mr Trump a "good friend" in the past and one of the president's "Make America Great Again" hats was spotted in Brady's locker in 2015.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is at odds with Donald Trump on the issue of American football players' protests during the US national anthem, calling the president's comments "just divisive".

NFL star Brady told Boston's WEEI-FM that he "certainly" disagrees with Mr Trump's comment that NFL owners should fire any player who refuses to stand for the anthem.
