In response to President Donald’s Trump’s comments recently about NFL players, three New York Giants knelt during the playing of the National Anthem on Sunday. Oliver Vernon, Damon Harrison and Landon Collins all took a knee.
Remaining Giants players locked arms during the playing of the anthem. Eagles players did the same.
Per NJ Advance Media, here is a statement from Giants’ owners John Mara and Steve Tisch:
"Comments like we heard last night from the president are inappropriate, offensive and divisive," Mara and Tisch said in a statement released to NJ Advance Media.
