ESPN NFL analyst Trent Dilfer condemned Colin Kaepernick for his national anthem protest on Sunday, and his colleague, former NFL wideout Randy Moss did not seem pleased at all about it.
Dilfer– a 44-year-old former quarterback who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers among other teams– stated that although he respects Kaepernick’s “passion” for the issue, he doesn’t respect the way he “put himself and his stance above the team.”
Moss, 39, who played for the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots among other teams, politely sat as the former Super Bowl champion next to him made his point, although he shot Dilfer a death glare all throughout, much to the amusement of scores of NFL fans.

Strangely enough, Moss didn’t verbally respond in any way to Dilfer’s comments. One can only guess whether the brief nod he gives is for genuine agreement with part of what Dilfer said, or simply a sarcastic nod to accompany his glare meant to show Dilfer how ridiculous his argument is.
