Protests by NFL players during the national anthem ratcheted up on Sunday in reaction to recent remarks from President Donald Trump, in which he described any player who took a knee for the "Star-Spangled Banner" as a "son of a bitch" and called for team owners to fire players who partake in the protest.
Reaction to the comments and record kneeling came from across the sports world, including golf, where the most direct comments came from PGA Tour winner Peter Malnati, who followed up a passionate tweet with a phone interview about why he supported those taking a knee for the anthem.
