Jim Harbaugh tells President Trump to 'check the Constitution'

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Jim Harbaugh shot back at the U.S. president Saturday night for suggesting that a boycott of the NFL over players who kneel during the national anthem.

Asked by a reporter after Michigan's 28-10 win over Purdue, Harbaugh called the comments made by Donald Trump Friday night in Alabama "ridiculous."

The Michigan coach even offered up a suggestion to Trump, whom he once complimented for being anti-estbalishment.

"No, I don't agree with the president," Harbaugh said. "Listen, that's ridiculous. Check the Constitution."

Trump was speaking at a campaign rally for Alabama Sen.
