The feud between Donald Trump and the NFL and it’s players has carried over into yet another season on the backs of more protests.
Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson of the Miami Dolphins took a knee during the National Anthem ahead of their preseason matchup against the Buccaneers Thursday night. The two were joined by Robert Quinn of the ‘Phins and Malcom Jenkins of the Eagles, who both raised a fist while standing prior to their games.
The President, unhappy with the displays, took to Twitter, blasting the players and suggesting they find a new way to protest – even demanding they should be suspended without pay.
The NFL players are at it again – taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love……

…..Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!
