Last month, former Bears coach Mike Ditka knocked players — including Colin Kaepernick — who decided to kneel for the national anthem.
Two days later, Bears inside linebacker Danny Trevathan sent a Tweet that seemed to reference Ditka without saying his name.
He wrote that “some of you old heads [legends/coaches etc.] are starting to really speak y’all minds and we see you all true colors.” He later wrote that, if they weren’t part of the solution, they were part of the problem.
“Shut yo [butt] up,” he wrote.
Friday, in his first interview since his July 28 Tweet, Trevathan was asked directly about Ditka.
