President Donald Trump, speaking at a rally for Alabama senate candidate Luther Strange on Friday, said he would like to see players who protest the national anthem fired by NFL owners.
“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. He is fired.”
Trump also encouraged fans to stop watching games if they see players protesting.
“When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they are playing our great national anthem — the only thing you could do better is if you see it, even it’s one player, leave the stadium,” he said.
