REGINA — Backlash from U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem reached the Canadian Football League on Sunday. Many players voiced their support for their football brethren south of the border after Calgary’s 15-9 victory. Roughriders quarterback Kevin Glenn took to Twitter Saturday morning and voiced his opinion on the issue. Glenn tweeted: “#trump is the disrecptful (sic) one, he should be fired #trumpisabean.”Riders offensive lineman Derek Dennis was one of the players that locked arms. “It shows that people understand the social issues that are going on right now,” Dennis said.
