Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has thrown his weight behind his players following President Trump's criticism of NFLers who protest during the national anthem.

"We recognize our players' influence," said Bisciotti in a statement Sunday. "We respect their demonstration and support them 100 percent. All voices need to be heard. That's democracy in its highest form."
