Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins said he had a reason for giving the middle finger to a caravan of President Donald Trump supporters. Photos of Hopkins flipping the bird went viral prior to Sunday’s game, but he didn’t immediately respond to questions about those pictures.
On Tuesday, Hopkins confirmed he flipped off the group on the “All Things Covered” podcast. Hopkins said people were beeping at him for entering the caravan. He also joked about giving the middle finger, saying he was trying to give a peace sign, but his other finger hurt.
