Much of the National Football League and its athletes may currently disagree with President Donald Trump about respecting the country and the national anthem — but one sports organization appears to have his back.

Two owners of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) have said they would fire their drivers for not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance, just as the president has suggested the NFL do with football players who don’t stand for the national anthem before games.

“Anybody that don’t stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country, period,” Richard Petty, owner of Richard Petty Motorsports, told the Associated Press. “What got ’em where they’re at? The United States.”

Petty then confirmed he would fire a protester if that individual worked for Richard Petty Motorsports.

Another NASCAR owner, Richard Childress, said he would also fire protesters should they work for him.

“It’ll get you a ride on a Greyhound bus,” Childress said. “Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave their lives for it. This is America.”

“Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in.”

President Trump took to Twitter to thank the NASCAR owners for expressing their sentiments. “So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won’t put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag — they said it loud and clear!”

Not everyone involved in NASCAR agrees with Petty and Childress, though. Driver and champion team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., one of the most recognizable faces in the race-car driving world, expressed support for NFL players who have chosen to protest the national anthem.

Earnhardt took to quoting John F. Kennedy on Twitter to show his support.

NASCAR is most popular in red states, so it’s easy to see why many in the industry would support the president’s feelings toward national anthem protesters. At Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, all the drivers were seen standing for “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

However, the heated debate is still largely dividing people of all political persuasions. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, surprisingly spoke out against the president — and said he believed players had the right to protest the national anthem and still keep their jobs in the NFL.

“I believe in bringing people together, and respect and love and trust.”

“I certainly disagree with what he said. I thought it was just divisive,” said Brady, who has referred to Trump as a friend, on WEEI’s “Kirk and Callahan” radio show Monday morning.

“Like I said, I just want to support my teammates,” Brady said. “I am never one to say, ‘Oh, that is wrong. That is right.’ I do believe in what I believe in. I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust … I have been blessed to be in locker rooms with guys all over the United States over the course of my career … The one thing about football is it brings so many guys together — guys you would never have the opportunity to be around.”

The five-time Super Bowl champion and new author added, “I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want to do. If you don’t agree, that is fine. You can voice your disagreement, I think that is great. It’s part of our democracy. As long as it is done in a peaceful, respectful way, that is what our country has been all about.”

Brady actually joins another Trump friend and supporter in distancing himself from the president’s comments. Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft released a statement on Sunday that said, “I am proud to be associated with so many players who make such tremendous contributions in positively impacting our communities. Their efforts, both on and off the field, help bring people together and make our community stronger. There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics.”

“For me, and many others on my team and around the league, [the national anthem] is a tribute to those who commit to serve and protect our country.”

He also said he was “deeply disappointed” by the “tone of the comments made by the president.”

But on Monday afternoon, Ben Roethlisberger released a statement saying he regretted that his Pittsburgh Steelers boycotted the national anthem on Sunday, as The Hollywood Reporter noted. The Steelers were the first of three teams to remain inside for the pregame ritual over the weekend.

“I was unable to sleep last night and want to share my thoughts and feelings on our team’s decision to remain in the tunnel for the national anthem yesterday,” the Super Bowl-winning quarterback said in a statement. “The idea was to be unified as a team when so much attention is paid to things dividing our country, but I wish we approached it differently. We did not want to appear divided on the sideline with some standing and some kneeling or sitting.”

He also said, “As a team, it was not a protest of the flag or the anthem. I personally don’t believe the anthem is ever the time to make any type of protest. For me, and many others on my team and around the league, it is a tribute to those who commit to serve and protect our country, current and past, especially the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice.”

On Monday night, before their game against the Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys players as well as the team’s owner Jerry Jones actually locked arms and took a knee briefly before standing throughout the playing of the anthem. The Cardinals’ players and staff performed a similar gesture —  locking arms as one along with owner Michael Bidwill and coach Bruce Arians among them while standing near the end zone.
