It seems that sports and politics are constantly intertwined nowadays, and on Friday night it was President Donald Trump mixing the two. During a rally in Huntsville, Ala., President Trump voiced his disapproval on NFL players protesting during the national anthem.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say: 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired,"' said Trump.

Commissioner Roger Goodell responded with a statement early Saturday that criticized the comments and drew attention to NFL players' positive influence in communities.

Many current and former players didn't take well to those comments and jumped to Twitter to exclaim their anger and disappointment. It will be interesting to see how many current players do weigh in on the comments, as surely many will want to stay away from the topic entirely in fear of becoming a distraction. Colin Kaepernick, for instance, is still not on an NFL roster, with most in NFL circles believing the reason for that is his political activism.
