protest during the national anthem. >> and the players were united on the field sunday, more than 100 knelt and others stood arm in arm with their teammates. some teams chose not to take the field during the national anthem. and then there was this dramatic moment, this former army ranger, the only member of the pittsburgh steelers that went out on the field during the national anthem hand over heart. >> he served in afghanistan. >> he did. millions taking to social media as you can imagine. these hashtags sparked 3.8 million tweets, many of those supporting the protest, others against it. the president, well, doubling down, drawing a line, tweeting, standing with locked arms is good. kneeling is not acceptable. >> well, abc's gio benitez is outside the washington redskins stadium. ge geo, you were there in the locker room last night. what was the feeling in that locker room. >> reporter: michael, good morning. inside that locker room there

remarks sunday. >> this has nothing to do with race or anything else. this has to do with respect for our country. >> reporter: his son, donald junior, going after the nfl commissioner, tweeting, if only roger goodell cared as much about domestic abuse and traumatic brain injury as he does about disrespecting america. overnight nfl commissioner roger goodell told "sports illustrated" that the way that the league reacted to the president's remarks actually made him very proud and when he was asked if he was bothered by the president's words, he said this. no, we live in an imperfect society, a public discourse makes us strong. michael. >> thank you, gio. you see the president didn't back down. well, you nothe players aren't g down either. >> neither are the owners. we saw them locking arms with their team's players. espn's ryan smith is here with more. ryan, the protests are now going beyond the football field. >> absolutely, robin. incredible scene.

they're taking a knee and finding other ways to show support for the protestors and many using their platform to take issue with the president's comments. >> reporter: by calling on nfl player protestors to be fired, president trump managing to get the whole league fired up. nfl commissioner roger goodell releasing a statement, calling the president's comments divisive. the nfl airing an ad emphasizing unity during the league's sunday night game. >> inside these lines, we can bring out the best in each other. >> reporter: many owners taking the field, throwing their support behind their teams. owners from 8 teams during the anthem side by side with their players. patriots owner robert kraft who reportedly donated $1 million to president trump's inaugural celebrations writing in a statement, i am deeply disappointed by the tone of the comments made by the president. president trump also taking aim at nba superstar steph curry after the two-time mvp told reporters that he would not join his team. the champion golden state

warriors, if they decided to visit the white house. >> i don't want to go. that's really it. >> reporter: trump lashing out that curry's invitation was withdrawn. this prompting superstar lebron james to call the president a bum. >> he's now using sports as the platform to try to divide us. >> reporter: but it was the nfl's response to the president that took center stage this weekend. some of the sports' biggest names weighing in. overnight, before the game featuring washington's hometown team, analyst and former nfl player cris collinsworth challenging the president. >> i would just ask the president to consider apologizing for the sob line and maybe invite some of these players to the white house. >> reporter: hall of fame quarterback terry bradshaw disagree with the protest but stands p behind their right to do it. >> i'm not sure if our president understands those rights. >> reporter: meanwhile, the hashtag take a knee going viral, tweeted nearly 4 million times.

ferrell, kneeling in solidarity at a concert dedicated to the city of charlottesville overnight. >> if i want to get on my knees right now for the people in my city, for the people in my state, that's what that flag is for. >> reporter: in response to the protests, supporters of the president taking to twitter to criticize player protestors with the hashtags stand for our anthem, take a stand, and boycott nfl. now, the reaction to the protests were varied. former buffalo bills quarterback and hall of famer jim kelly posted that he hopes bills players stand and lock arms if they protest, but in the end we're talking over 100 players taking a knee. this is thought to be the largest group of protestors doing that since colin kaepernick started it all. >> all right, ryan. and it's like people are forgetting why kap started this which we are going to explain in just a little bit. >> absolutely, robin. right now we're going to talk to baltimore ravens tight end ben watson who stood arm in arm with his teammates on sunday and ben joins us from

pikesville, maryland. how are you doing, my friend? >> good morning. i'm doing well. >> we saw you yesterday standing arm in arm with your teammates. take us into the locker room before the game. what was that moment like before you walked out on the field? >> really i'll take you back to friday. we were in london. we didn't really know about the president's comments. once that kind of filtered out and got on social media, there was a tremendous amount of emotion, a tremendous amount of hurt. we felt as many others did that this was a direct attack on our brotherhood. obviously the name calling is something that we don't stand for, but even to imply that we don't have the right to express ourselves in that way, whether you agree or not, is something that we took to heart. it was an emotional time. guys talked about wanting to respect our country and show love for their country but also wanting to respond in solidarity and so it kind of was organic. we got on the field, some guys

kneeled, some guys decided to kneel that didn't before. other guys locked arms. i locked arms and i also pointed to the skies because i really believe that the lord will really have to have his hand on us when it comes to reconciling our differences. >> we know in the past you said you didn't agree with colin kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem, but as you say, you locked arms with your teammates in support of those who did decide to kneel, in the wake of president's comments, have your feelings changed at all? >> well, initially last year when colin first kneeled i said if i wasn't able to play that i wouldn't be kneeling. but i support him in what he decided to do. i haven't kneeled but the reasons why he kneeled, the police brutality, the excessive force, as he said, the oppression of people of color, those are all concerns of mine since before colin decided to kneel and have been for a lot of other people in our country as well. he just decided to do his

protesting that way. my feelings have not changed about those issues. i'm still very concerned about those issues. i still have conversations in the locker room about those issues. i still speak and write about those issues. i think what we saw last sunday, yesterday, was really an response, an emotional response to the words of president trump. those words really cut deep on a number of levels for a lot of us, and not just guys in the locker room but guys outside. i think what we saw, the influx and the increase in guys protesting, while many of them are concerned about those issues, rightfully so, part of that -- part of what we saw yesterday was a direct response to the president's comments. >> ben, we really appreciate you spending some time with us. we know you just got off a flight from london yesterday so we really appreciated your time. thank you so much. let's get a view from the white house right now. our senior white house correspondent sacecilia vega is

here. after the last couple of weeks he got praise about the hurricanes. why throw out this hand grenade now? >> not entirely off the cuff. he did have nfl written in prepared remarks in that speech in bottom bcalabama. he went further than what was in those written remarks. multiple people i've spoken to inside this administration firmly believe that at the end of this debate america will be on the president's side in his notion that players should take a stand during the national anthem. they think that in the end he's going to come out, they're going to come out in full support of this. but look, this is a president who has a history of throwing out inflammatory remarks, right, to often distract from controversies that he's dealing with. health care on the bubble right now. he was down there in alabama in a race with a candidate he's endorsing, may or may not lose. what i'm hearing from people inside the white house, they are saying and we heard the

president himself say this is not about race, and i've got to say, this is so much bigger than the president versus the players. people in this country are going to feel completely against this notion that this is not about race. >> if the president comes out and says this is not about race, that's a little like saying i'm not a crook. if you have to say it you're already in trouble. >> when it comes to sensitive issues like this, past presidents have done their best to put out the flame, not fan the flame, not throw gasoline on it. many pointed out that president trump's language, sob, referring to nfl players who peacefully protest racial injustice, sob, that language far stronger than what the president said about white supremacists in charlottesville. let's not forget, a young woman, heath heather higher, was killed, matt. >> two things. the first thing, organized sports is a lot like the military. it's a brotherhood and sisterhood that the bond is with the people that are on the team

together against something, a common enemy. so when he attacks them, they bind together just like it happens in the military. the other thing, robin, today is the 60th anniversary of the little rock nine, the folks that desegregated central high school in little rock. we've come a long way in our country but we still have a long way to go. the president has an incredible loyal following, and if he takes that power that he has with his loyal following and brings them along to a place that actually brings the country together, the highest point of his presidency is when he did things that unified the country during the hurricanes and on the debt ceiling and finding the funding for that. it was his highest point of his presidency. he's referring to divisive language that is not going to benefit him in the short term. >> ryan, i want to bring you back into this conversation. what do you think happens next in the league and for professional athletes in general. when i say professional athletes, i don't just mean

football. steph curry and all these other things. what should happen? >> a couple of things here. first, in talking to some sources, there was a great deal of empowerment after president trump's comments. there was anger but the sense that we have a platform. this is one of the very unique teams that the nfl management council and the players are on the same team, they're eun f fewed. that's interesting here, cecilia mentioned the point that many people would feel like americans would be on the president's side. for protestors, this is about so much more than just making the statement about injustice. this is about trying to get somebody to seek to understand what they are talking about. so when the president, i think, is thinking about sides, i wonder if there was a desire to really understand why people are taking a knee. i think when that happens, you might see some change. >> and when colin kaepernick first took the knee, he wanted

to start a conversation. looks like that conversation is full blown. the president's coming out of this from the nfl facing another big week of challenges. our new abc news "washington post" poll shows 39% approve of the president's job performance, the lowest of any president at this point in his first term. in the wake of his rocket man rhetoric against north korea, 62% do not trust president trump to act responsibly dealing with that situation. let's get more from martha raddatz. martha, one of the big questions on north korea, is this escalating war of words making a real war more likely? >> reporter: we've never seen exchange like this between a u.s. president and the president of north korea. the certainly makes the possibility of military action seem more likely. you had those b-1 bombers flying further north off the coast of the peninsula plan u.s. war planes have flown in more than twa de two decades. donald trump responded this

weekend by saying that little rocket man won't be around much longer if he follows through on the threats. when you make those kinds of statements, george, you've got to be prepared to act on them. >> martha, in another symbolic act, the president adding north korea to his new travel ban just issued last night a new somewhat tougher travel ban. >> it's the third try at the travel ban. the second expired sunday although its legality will not expire. this latest one added some countries like north korea but also calls for indefinitely banning travel, not just that 90-day suspension for most people from iran, libya, syria, yemen, somalia, chad and north korea. iraqis will also face increased security. george. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. all right, let's get now to ginger for the latest on hurricane maria and how it will affect the east coast. >> still watching maria far off the east coast. it's hill some of the tha it mot

kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injis tuss. this weekend he saw his message and his means of conveying it command the attention of the nation and his president. >> wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a [mute] off the field right now. >> reporter: unsigned by any nfl team, colin kaepernick himself could be found not on the field where he said he wants to be, telling a columnist last week, i'm ready right now, working out daily. where other players have said he deserves to be. >> do i think kaepernick is better than some of these starting quarterbacks in this league, absolutely. should he be on a roster in my opinion, absolutely. >> reporter: instead, he could be found here, in cyber space, retweeting a host of images of players and others who support him, including military widows. as if in response to negative reaction, he said last year that he anticipated. >> you're going to have that

backlash for trying to fight for people. >> reporter: he also retweeted his mother's response to the president. guess that makes me a proud [bleep]. kaepernick now a part of a sports activism tradition stretching back decades. at the 1968 summer olympics, u.s. medallists tommy smith and john carlos on the podium. >> this is a tradition in the african-american community and tradition across the country. we've always had athletes to use their platforms to speak out around issues of social justice. >> reporter: also in the '60s, muhammad ali, a voice for black empowerment and descent. >> you want me to stand up for my religious beliefs and fight but you won't stand up for me at home. >> reporter: billie jean king would become a leader of the women's movement. in 2016 the wwnba's links done region black lives matter shirts. and an unprecedented role, lebron james embracing social activism in public statements, on social media, even on the

court itself. >> it's time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves what are we doing to create change. >> reporter: also this weekend the aclu tweeting out a line from the memoir of jackie robinson, perhaps our nation's most revered athlete for breaking baseball's color line, writing in 1972, i cannot stand and sing the anthem. >> many forget that he said that. we're going to bring in the man who first convinced kaepernick to kneel instead of sitting during the national anthem, former seattle seahawks player, nate bray. we've been looking forward to hearing from you so we can hear you explain how in the beginning kap was sitting, he had a discussion, reached out to you, had a discussion and you convinced him that kneeling was the way to go. please explain how that all came down. >> well, i wouldn't say i convinced him so much as we kand

of came to that place together. we sat down in the lobby of the team hotel on game day before their last preseason game last season against the chargers. we were down in san diego and we just talked about our own perspectives of how things were going with our country, you know. my feeling toward the anthem and the flag are very different from his just because of our experiences and our backgrounds and what we've been through and what we've experienced. so, you know, we were trying to be sensitive to each other and listen first and just sort of understand where the other person's coming from and we kind of came to a middle ground through those discussions, through that conversation. i believe that's something that needs to happen a little bit more nowadays in our country in general. there's a hell of a lot of shouting and hate and not a lot of listening and reasonable talk. >> a good example of you two coming from opposing sides so to

speak but finding some compromise there and having a dialogue and a productive discussion. i know that you don't agree with kneeling. you stand, former green beret. what did you make of what we saw in the nfl yesterday and in other places as well? >> i mean, it was very interesting. it hurts every time i see that. it hurts -- it hurt really bad yesterday probably more than anything. i thought -- you know, what was interesting is it seemed like what alejandro villanueva was doing in pittsburgh who was an army ranger with three combat deployments, the rest of the team stayed in the locker room and he came out on the field and put his hand on his heart and stood for the anthem, it was almost like he was protesting and he was standing for the anthem, which was really interesting to see, you know. i'm just afraid that a lot of it yesterday was more we're protesting donald trump's statements, and i think the

anthem itself and that flag, it doesn't represent the president, it represents 350 million americans. it's the american flag and our national anthem. so it almost -- it almost felt like in some ways if you were standing at attention and facing the flag, it's like you're agreeing with those statements that president trump made, and i don't -- i don't like that. i don't like that that is what it felt like yesterday. that really does concern me. >> that's what some people are struggling with. really quick, kaepernick hasn't -- we haven't heard from him. he's retweeted some. have you spoken to him at all recently? >> um, no, not recently. i spoke to him earlier this year and it's a tough position for him. it's a tough position for some of these -- honestly, for some of the league owners. i know that people may disagree with that but if you look at a lot of them yesterday they were

down on the field embracing their team, standing on the side and locking arms with their players. i look at it much more of like i believe i don't think he's necessarily black balled. i think the situation is everything comes down to money. it's a business, and if you could hire the most qualified employee if you're a business owner but you knew or you feared you may lose a large amount of your clientele, even if this person was more qualified than anybody, would you hire that person. i think that's more where that fear is coming from. i don't know, things through this last week, there may be more of a shift and an opportunity of bringing him on board. >> we'll see what happens. nate, thank you very much for your perspective. truly appreciate it. thank you. boy, you listen to that thoughtful conversation and you think this is really unchartered territory for colin kaepernick and the whole nfl. >> it really is, but i think if there's ever a chance for colin kaepernick to make it back into the nfl, it's now. when you see the owners standing

up with the players, i think if anything maybe a door has been opened. when it comes to race, religion, economic backgrounds, the locker rooms are one place where none of that really matters. we all don't agree. we all don't like each other. but you know what, you find a common ground to do what you're there to do and that is to win as a team and do what your job is. i think right now the door is open for colin kaepernick because talent-wise he has it. it's just the other things that i think are a little -- scares everybody away. >> what nate referred to and no way he could have foreseen what has happened. and the protests have also spread to the wnba, the los angeles sparks. the entire team stayed in the locker room during the national anthem. in a statement the players said they wanted to stand in solidarity with nfl players and stand by their mission of unity and togetherness. the opposing team, the minnesota lynx, they stayed on the court and linked arms during the anthem. oh and by the way, it was a great game, decided on a

last-second shot, won by the sparn spark. you can watch game two of the finals at 8:00 p.m. orne espn 2. we were talking about whether the president was going to double down. say triple down. 15 seconds ago he's tweeting again. he's saying many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday which is a small percentage of the total. these are fans who demand respect for our flag. he said again it has nothing to do with race, it's about respect for our country, flag and national anthem. this debate not going away. >> as i said before, presidents in the past, you try and douse the flames. you don't want to throw gasoline on it with continuing to double down and triple down. >> fueling it. >> tweets keep on coming. we'll be back with new technology parents can put in their kids' cars to monitor driving. how do you chase what you love with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis? do what i did. ask your doctor about humira. it's proven to help relieve pain and protect joints

[ cheers and applause ] >> when you first picked up the guitar and started writing lyrics, you must have saw this coming. >> no, to be honest, i didn't

even see having success outside of england as an option. so i never really expected it. as a singer/songwriter, the goal in england is kind of like playing small theaters. that's like the peak and maybe going gold on one or two albums, so this is like -- yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. >> is this a this is happening moment? >> my goal was to play a theatre in england and go gold and both of them happened in the same week. after that i didn't really have any goals left. it's all been -- it's all kind of like all the things that have been happening haven't been things that i've expected to happen, so like, it's been -- you can kind of treat it as if it's -- it's all unbelievable so you can't really take it in. >> as we're listening to "shape of you" what comes first, the lyrics or the music? >> that was the riff. steve, the guy i wrote the song with came up with that riff.

>> and we can't stop singing it. >> another one "thinking out loud" number one song for weddings by far in the u.s. [ cheers and applause ] really, most requested song. you said that you play it for your friends for free. do they also request to hear that at their weddings? >> i don't get asked to play the wedding. i just get invited and then like it gets to a certain point in the night where they have it and then i'll end up doing it. so yeah, that's happened a bunch of times. >> that's a great wedding gift. no gift needed there. that's fantastic. >> oh, that's a good song. there's a good song here, oh. >> what a coincidence. >> you tried your hand at acting in "game of thrones." [ cheers and applause ] >> yeah. i mean, i say literally two lines in it and then just kind of hang in the background, so i wouldn't necessarily call it acting. but i got to, you know -- it's one of my favorite shows. >> was it a dream of yours to do

that? >> yeah. oh they're taking -- you know, it's filmed in northern ireland and i toured with a band in northern ireland and gary, the lead singer, knew someone in the "game of thrones" world. this is 2012 and he was like, i'll try and get you on. five years into it. >> took him five years. >> you got a big stadium tour coming up. >> yeah, my first usa stadium tour. >> who's going? [ cheers and applause ] >> i did gillette stadium in 2015. that was like a kind of taste. but like this one is like -- you know, for me it's like playing the coast is one thing but being able to play middle america at that level is pretty, like, cool. >> you said you're going to be here at metlife but you really -- >> one ticket sold right there.

but you played in someone's living room for amnesty international. >> yeah. >> and you've played some small venues, arenas. what's the weirdest place you've ever played? >> i don't know really. i mean, there have been odd venues. there was -- i did this literally a toilet tour where you kind of just go and play in -- it's not in toilets but it's like -- they're like really, really, really small, grimy venues that kind of sweat drips off the walls. >> good dive bars. >> yeah, but they're referred to in england as toilet venues. i don't know why. i don't know why. >> speaking of odd, i actually owe you an apology. i don't know how many years ago this was but i got pressed into playing ed sheeran for halloween. >> i think i saw that. [ cheers and applause ] >> but i also want to thank you. after i did that -- >> you got the guitar.

>> of course i do. i never have to do halloween again after that. >> i was chuckie from the "rug rats." i was ron wheezily one halloween. i also went as the ginger bread man one halloween. and seed of chuckie. so basically anything with red hair. >> well, he doesn't have red hair, but turnabout is fair play. you could do stephanopoulos. get the nice suit going. >> you give us idea for george and you're welcome to join our halloween party any time you want. ed's not going anywhere. he's going to stick around and perform live just ahead. facing an epidemic
