Morning sports update: Robert Kraft spoke with the Patriots about the national anthem protests

The Bruins play the Coyotes on Saturday, the Patriots play the Jets on Sunday, and the Celtics play the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Robert Kraft spoke with the Patriots about the national anthem protests: In light of the recent anthem protests — as well as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ demand that his players stand if they want to play — Kraft decided to meet with his team to discuss the issue.

“I think there were some comments made about what our young men were doing that were a little inflammatory and inappropriate, and I thought I had to speak out,” Kraft said, via ESPN.
