Another scene from Tom Brady’s upcoming interview with Oprah has been released and in it, Oprah asks Brady about players kneeling during the national anthem.

“Taking a knee divided the country,” Oprah said. “What was going on in your own locker room?”

"I think there were a lot of really good, healthy conversations coming out of it in our locker room, you know?" Brady said. " … I've been playing sports long enough. Everyone comes from something different. And I think showing respect for everybody in a locker room -- a team full of guys trying to go the same direction -- you better have that empathy for everybody. That’s what sports are about."

The full interview with Oprah airs on Sunday at 11 a.m. on OWN.
