The NFL Players Association continues to stand up to Donald Trump in the wake of the president's criticisms of players protesting during the national anthem.

In a video released Thursday, the NFLPA shines a light on how the vast majority of teams and players denounced Trump's words, especially how he referred to any protester as a "son of a bitch."

Unprecedented protests took place in Week 3, with roughly 180 players demonstrating in some manner during the anthem.

"No matter where you’re from or what you believe - we are united. We respect each other and will always fight for one another," the video's caption read.
