Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner 'disappointed' by President Trump's comments

" (The flag is) a symbol of the ideals of our great country: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The anthem: It's a reminder to us of those things. The President of the United States, his role is to uphold and to fight for the rights of every person, every American. And so, when I heard the comments, I was so disappointed because I believe (Trump's) comments are completely contradictory to what the flag represents," Warner said Sunday morning on NFL Network.

"We have this narrative that these protests are contradictory to our flag and contradictory to our military. I don't see them that way. I see them as complementary to the ideals to the flag, to the military and what they fought for -- the service men and women and what they fought for.

"I have not heard one player that has not been more than grateful to our military. This isn't about that at all; it's about standing up for the ideals of the flag."

"What are we trying to do here? What are we trying to accomplish, not just as players but as a country? I just couldn't be more disappointed in those comments."
