NFL players from around the league came together Sunday, Sept. 24 as they protested during the national anthem in the face of comments made by President Donald Trump.
It all started when President Trump expressed his displeasure with the NFL at an Alabama rally on Friday, Sept. 22. President Trump told the crowd, “Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He is fired. He's fired!'”
Following his statement at the rally, the president continued to criticize the league.
