President Donald Trump made incendiary remarks Friday at a rally in Alabama, calling for NFL owners to fire players or, in his words, “any son of a bitch” who kneels in protest or “disrespects our flag” during the national anthem.

Tom Brady rebuked the comments from Trump — whom the Patriots quarterback calls a friend — yesterday during his weekly radio appearance on WEEI’s “Kirk & Callahan Show,” one day after he declined to delve into the issue after a win in Foxboro.

“I certainly disagree with what he said and thought it was just divisive,” Brady said.
