Owners for the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants were among those across the league who responded Saturday to President Donald Trump, who one night earlier said he wished NFL players who protested during the national anthem would be fired and later Saturday called out commissioner Roger Goodell directly.
Reaction across the NFL was widespread, with many players and at least eight team owners either posting their thoughts on social media or issuing statements.
"The callous and offensive comments made by the President are contradictory to what this great country stands for," 49ers CEO Jed York said.
