A couple of former NFL greats spoke out in support of Donald Trump at his campaign rally in New Jersey on Saturday.

Former New York Giants greats Lawrence Taylor and Ottis Anderson attended a Trump rally on the Jersey Shore on Sunday. They both revealed that they will be voting for Trump.

Terry Bradshaw, meanwhile, likely won't be doing the same. He sounded off on Trump's criticism about the NFL a couple of years ago.

Trump had criticized players for kneeling for the national anthem.

"This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom. People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights. That every American has the right to speak out also to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love our this great country of ours. Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL," he said.

Former NFL star Howie Long agreed. 

"Kneeling or sitting for the anthem is not something I would choose to do, but I fully support the right to do it. That being said, what keeps getting lost in the form of the protest is the message of inequality. Put in a perspective, as a white father having raised three boys, there were a million things to worry about on a daily basis, but it's impossible for me truly understand the challenges an African-American father faces at every turn while raising his children," he said. 

"But in a league that is comprised of 70 percent African-American players, if you're a white player in an NFL locker room, that puts you in a unique position to try and better understand those struggles and subsequently as we've seen, show your support for your teammates in your own way. Understanding starts with a dialogue and the most important part of dialogue is to listen."

It doesn't sound like those two will be endorsing Trump in 2024.
