Trump demands NFL teams ‘fire or suspend’ players or risk fan boycott
By Abby Phillip September 24 at 7:21 AM

SOMERSET, N.J. — President Trump on Sunday morning renewed his demand that NFL owners fire or suspend players who kneel during the national anthem in protest, again urging that fans should boycott the sport to force change.

"If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast," Trump wrote. "Fire or suspend!"

"NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S.," he continued in a second tweet.

The tweets continue a three-day-long crusade by the president to pressure the league to fire players who have taken a knee in an effort to protest police violence against minorities.

Trump first aired his anger at the practice during a rally in Alabama on Friday night, in which he suggested that coaches should get the "son of a b----" players off the field if they continued to kneel. The comments prompted swift backlash from players, the league and coaches, many of whom condemned Trump's comments.

On Saturday, the president didn't back down, however. He continued to tweet his call for the league to discipline players for showing "total disrespect" for the country.

As this week's games kick off Sunday, more players are expected to take a knee in protest after Trump's comments.
