Donald Trump says San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the national anthem is a "terrible thing."

Trump tells KIRO radio in Seattle that Kaepernick "should find a country that works better for him. Let him try, it won't happen."

Kaepernick drew national attention when he sat through "The Star-Spangled Banner" before an NFL exhibition game Friday. The quarterback says he plans to sit through the anthem until he sees significant progress in race relations in the United States.

He has also criticized both major presidential candidates, calling Trump "openly racist" and saying Hillary Clinton has "done things Illegally."
