Multiple Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars players knelt on Sunday during the playing of the national anthem at the first NFL game since President Trump called for players who take a knee to be fired.

Video and photos posted to Twitter shows players kneeling and locking arms as the anthem played.

Trump has faced backlash in recent days from after calling on NFL owners to fire players who kneel during the national anthem.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now,'" Trump said at a rally in Alabama on Friday. "'He is fired.'"

Trump’s comments brought rebukes against Trump from multiple NFL players, the head of the NFL players’ union and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who called Trump’s comments “divisive” and said they showed a “lack of respect for the NFL.”

Several NFL executives have also spoken out against Trump and reaffirmed their players’ rights to peacefully protest.

But Trump on Sunday doubled down on his comments, calling for players to be fired or suspended for not standing during the national anthem and hitting the NFL for not telling players to stand.
If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!

...NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S.

Poster Comment:



I did my best to get those Twitter pics to show here.

Notice that "Shad Khan" (what a cute nickname), the Jaguars owner is a Paki immigrant and Sunni Muslim who joined his team in publicly disrespecting our country.

Notice that they traveled overseas to disrespect our flag and anthem. But both teams stood for the British anthem!

Yeah way out of hand. What a pathetic display of smugness.

It goes back for some of us to that old saying about our political arguments stop at our shores. The Left has taken to breaking that routinely.

Well the Patriots had a full house today.

Not to mention Brady with 40 seconds left wins the game...again. :-)

Did any Patriots kneel? I'm curious after their owner Kraft criticized Trump and supported the playas.

Someone should start a website, listing who kneels or acts out or refuse to leave the locker room for the anthem and in which games.

Update: Some Patriots did kneel, Brady did an arm link with one for solidarity
