CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue didn't mince words when addressing the controversial remarks made by President Donald Trump about the league and players.
Speaking to reporters at Bank of America Stadium in the press box, Tagliabue offered his opinion of Trump categorizing players as a "son of a bitch" when protesting the national anthem during pregame ceremonies.
"I'm a private citizen now," Tagliabue said. "I'm not speaking for the league, I don't represent the league. But from my perspective, I think I know a little about NFL players, and from my perspective they're engaged in many, many positive things all across America all the time, week in and week out.
