NFLPA hits back at Trump's assertion NFL players aren't patriotic
Donald Trump has targeted NFL players, painting many of them as unpatriotic, for well over a year now.
His latest move was to cancel the Philadelphia Eagles’ scheduled visit to the White House, using the anthem debate as his key talking point.
Not surprisingly, this sparked some pretty intense reactions from some of the players on that Super Bowl-winning club.
Now the National Football League Players Association has issued a lengthy counter to the notion that players are unpatriotic — a counter that’s very much in line with what Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien discussed on Wednesday.
