Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy decided not to kneel or lock arms to defy President Donald Trump during Sunday's pregame national anthem - instead he opted to stretch.

McCoy was seen running in place and warming up while his teammates stood or kneeled during the Star Spangled Banner ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. 

After the game, McCoy said that while he loves America, he 'can't stand and support something where our leader of this country is acting like a jerk'.

The star running back did not explain why he decided to stretch throughout the anthem performance.
