4:35 pm
together and have a conversation about it in their own time. right now they wanted to enjoy the championship. >> one last thing, there was a similar conversation when the new england patriots won the super bowl earlier this year. now, you have something on that. >> i do. i had a chance to speak with david steele today a sports writer. he tells me in the age of outspoken athletes, we are not seeing anything new today. >> i think people who have some sort of objections to this might need to think about the number of individual athletes over the previous eight years during barack obama's administration who made their choice to stay away. made their choices publicly and clearly known. but athletes are and have been showing themselves as people who are not afraid to ability like american citizens who are exercising the rights that they're entitled to like everybody else. >> imagine that. athletes can do what we can do,
