Tom Brady calls for controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick to play in the NFL again

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.

"To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder"

"Yes, I'll continue to sit. I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me this is something that has to change.

"When there's significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand."

"I certainly hope so."

"I’ve always watched him and admired him, the way that he’s played,"

"He was a great young quarterback, he came to our stadium and beat us, and took his team to the Super Bowl in 2012. He accomplished a lot in the pros, as a player, and he’s certainly qualified. I hope he gets a shot.”
