Donald Trump Suggests Players Kneeling for Anthem Should Be Suspended for Entire Season

President Donald Trump thinks that NFL players should be suspended without pay for the entire season if they kneel during the national anthem.

Trump tweeted on Friday that he "can't belive" the debate over the national anthem is still ongoing.

"Isn't it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart?" he tweeted. "$40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!"

The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again - can’t believe it! Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart?
