President Donald Trump praised NFL owners for banning sideline protests of racism and police brutality and suggested players who kneel should be removed from the country.
I dont think people should be staying in locker rooms, but still I think its good you have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldnt be playing, you shouldnt be there, Trump said.
He went even further, and suggested that citizenship was conditional.
Maybe you shouldnt be in the country, Trump said. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, and the NFL owners have done the right thing, if thats what theyve done.

Our president is much more un American than those who protest injustice by kneeling.
If he advocates kicking people out of the country, himself and the rest of the Trump Crime Family should be first.
