Majority of polled Americans agree with Donald Trump: NFL players should stand for anthem

isn't just the biggest sport in America; it's become the biggest story. Period.

After a weekend that featured United States President Donald Trump attacking the league and displays during the national anthem, all eyes were fixated on how teams responded across the sport.

From three Giants players kneeling for the first time, to a show of Eagles unity in Philadelphia, to Jets coach Todd Bowles' emotional response, to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dropping to a knee before the national anthem on Monday Night Football, to the Pittsburgh Steelers (at least most of them) staying in the locker room for the anthem, the rhetoric hasn't stopped.
