Donald Trump launched a sensational attack on NFL players who have kneeled in protest of the national anthem during a speech in Alabama on Friday night, challenging the leagues owners to release anyone who engages in the movement started last year by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Wouldnt you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! Hes fired. Hes fired! the president said at a rally at Huntsvilles Von Braun Center in support of Republican senator Luther Strange, who is running in a special GOP primary election next week to remain in the Senate seat vacated by attorney general Jeff Sessions.
You know, some owner is going to do that. Hes going to say, That guy that disrespects our flag, hes fired. And that owner, they dont know it [but] theyll be the most popular person in this country.
Trump went on to attribute the NFLs dip in television ratings to the rule changes implemented over the last few years to make the game less violent and limit head injuries.
