New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh divulged what Americans should "keep in mind" as the U.S. gets ready to celebrate its 250th birthday this year.

"I think people should keep in mind that this is the greatest country, this is the greatest experiment in governing and the greatest experiment in society building that’s ever been attempted in the history of the world," Harbaugh said. "What this is about was never even comprehended until 1776 when the founding fathers came up with this idea."

And when the national anthem hits on game day, Harbaugh said he’s "going to be proud standing out there."

The Giants hired Harbaugh days after President Donald Trump weighed in on the team’s coaching search. The Baltimore Ravens fired the Super Bowl champion following their Week 18 loss, which cost them a spot in the playoffs.
