Tom Brady has weighed in on the controversial national anthem protests, saying he has “respect” for players who decided to kneel while the song plays, he told Oprah Winfrey in a new interview.
Brady said the debate surrounding the national anthem gave way to “a lot of good, healthy conversations… in our locker room.”
“I respect why people are doing what they are doing. And they’re doing it for different reasons, and that’s okay. You know, you can do things for your reason. They can do things for their reason, and you have respect for that. But, I thought it was great,” Brady told Winfrey. The full special with Brady and Oprah is set to release this weekend.

See even Tom Brady respects their right to kneel. Most of the people that have a problem with kneeling are racists ducks
YOU MILLENIALS GONNA PLAY WITH THIS 'DEVIL WORSHIP' SHIT TIL YALL GET MANY MORE "XXXTENTACIONS" AND 'FREDO SANTANAS"…YALL DUMB ASS THINK ITS A GAME! #TalkinBoutHisShirtFam
Good shit Tom !!!!!
When Tim Tebow Kneels on the field for standing up for Anti-Abortion, everyone applauds him. When Kaepernick kneels on the field to protest police brutality, everyone hates on him 🧐🧐🧐🧐 why is that? I know why. People are just too ignorant to admit it
The rich don't care, they won't starve when the bomb is dropped. Don't love America anymore? Fine then, no more America. Try kneeling to the anthem when you are a citizen of a communist nation and see what happens. That's where this is headed.
But he won’t take a knee tho
If he has some balls then he would walk out. And during the anthem take a knee on purpose. During this season
Once again. The kneeling was to bring awareness to unarmed black men being killed by police. Anybody against that is pretty much racist.
Tom Brady is a white supremacist
I was born and raised in New England, I love the the Patriots, but Tom Brady is wrong and I disagree with what he is saying. when a person disrespects the Nation Anthem and the American flag in any way they are disrespecting those who served and gave there lives for this great Nation. I don't care how they want to spin it. Playing sports in this country is a privileged not a right. I am tried of these spoiled athletes (who have been treated like gods most of their lives) telling how bad it is. When they go home to their ivory castle. If you don't like it don't play and go do something else.
Brady 4 the win
Fuck Brady
hes just trying to do his job and shut the fuck up. good man. niggas always trying to force people to support their agenda
Kneeling is worse than standing, you kneel down when you see the king… are they saying the flag is their king?No,but that's what it looks like to me.
tom real
You know I actually think people will start turning on trump. There’s been a bunch of his own fan base , celebs & republicans who have disowned him already.
Why is this nigga wearing a shirt that looks likes Tyler’s 2011 era
Hanuman "White Guilt" Welch
Stand the f*ck up you ungrateful morons. That's what he should have said. Wheres Candace Owens when you need her?
True man
Such a class act
Aren’t then fellas pretty much just kneeling to trump? 😂 At least that’s how it seems
We all know what Tom Brady wants to say. He is protecting his image but he is a Trump supporter.
He kinda said the same thing 6 times in a row in a different way,trying not to offend anyone.
Fuck off Hanuman
The Goat has spoken.
It was never a protest against the anthem
Can’t be neutral on a moving train
Woah, calm down with the uploads flooding my feed all at once.
Brady is a TRUE PATRIOT🇺🇸
#MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
a mouthpiece that sees Trump as a friend cannot be trusted
Haunam, Black people don’t like you more just because you hate white people
Jus gained respect for him bc of what he said even tho I think everyone should stand
The 🐐
I learned not much new information, but at least I got to hear it from a human that looks like an emo 17 year old
Goat
Tom Brady is trying not to upset either side
True American hero
Hanuman Welch cries whenever he sees his skin color 😂😂😭😭
Totally agreed
