"I'm pissed off," Ryan said on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown." "I supported Donald Trump. [These comments] are appalling to me... I never signed up for that.
"I'm reading these comments and it's appalling to me. Calling our players SOBs and all that kind of stuff. That's not the men that I know. The men that I know in the locker room I'm proud of. I'm proud to be associated with those people."
