New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he chose to lock arms with fellow players to show solidarity rather than kneel during the national anthem.
Brady — who has described President Trump as a friend, something Trump bragged about on the campaign trail — said he wanted to show his “great love” for his teammates through the gesture, according to the Boston Herald.
About 16 Patriots players knelt during the national anthem Sunday.
“I just think there’s just great love for my teammates,” Brady said, according to the Herald. “I got a lot of love and respect for my teammates and opponents.”
