Bucs receiver DeSean Jackson said Saturday that he will make a "statement" before today's game against the Vikings in response to President Donald Trump's comment that owners should "fire" players who kneel in protest during the national anthem.
"I definitely will be making a statement," Jackson said on Twitter. "No disrespect to our military. … But we have to stick together as people!! Unity."
Jackson also called Trump a "joke."
