Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander has come out against the national anthem protests and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Verland tweeted out his criticism of those protesting the national anthem late Sunday night, and in a single tweet hammered the BLM movement while still expressing his support for all lives mattering.
“Just sang the Canadian national anthem on TBS and we here in America can’t stand together for our anthem. #alllivesmatter #TogetherStronger,” the pitcher in a relationship with model Kate Upton tweeted.

His fiancee Upton has also come out against protesting the national anthem.
This couple clearly isn’t going to remain silent while people disrespect America and the national anthem.
