President Donald Trump expressed disbelief after the National Football League (NFL) suspended its ban on players’ kneeling during the national anthem. He also called on the league’s commissioner to put strict rules in place.
“The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again - can’t believe it!” Trump said in a Friday evening tweet. “Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!”
