BREAKING NEWS: American football stars drop to their knees during national anthem at Wembley in protest defying Donald Trump after he said sportsman who 'disrespect America' should be SACKED
Players from Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens dropped to their knees as national anthem played
No players were kneeling during the playing of 'God Save The Queen', which followed the US national anthem
President Trump had stoked tensions by saying NFL players who protested should be sacked by their team
American football stars took a knee in defiance of Donald Trump at Wembley Stadium today after he said sportsmen who 'disrespect America' should be 'fired'.
Players from both Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens dropped to their knees as the national anthem was played prior to the match in London.
No players were kneeling during the playing of 'God Save The Queen', which followed the Star Spangled Banner.
They did so after President Trump had stoked tensions by saying NFL players who protested during the national anthem should be sacked by their team.
At a rally on Friday night the president said: 'Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bi*ch off the field right now... he is fired.'
He was referring to a controversial string of protests started by player Colin Kaepernick last year when he sat or kneeled during the anthem to highlight the treatment of black Americans.
Players on both teams and Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who were not kneeling, remained locked arm-in-arm throughout the playing of the national anthem and 'God Save The Queen'. Khan donated $1million to Trump's inaugural committee last year.

For the time being, the NFL is dead to me.
“...They are first rate hypocrites...”
Perhaps some have some heartfelt convictions about police brutality but just happen to ignore that for every white on black violent incident there are NINE TIMES as many Black on White incidents. I guess that ratio is just not high enough for these NFL guys.
I’ve known three Nashville police officers. Two out of those three have been shot in the face by Black teens. Leroy Wheeler was killed. Joe Cooper recovered after endless hours in medical centers and in the dentist chair (his molars slowed the bullet).
Now that’s a great idea.
I’m from Cleveland but moved to a farm in the middle of nowhere 24 years ago, however our Tea Party has a Trump rally once a month at the busiest intersection in the county I live in now.
It’s always positive...the horns never stop beeping. I betcha October’s rally will be the best yet.
Watch the TV ratings and game attendance drop.
Then they stood for the Brits. Morons.
Taking away their ratings and their money is the only solution.
Boycott the advertisers as well.
Reminds me of those guys at the Olympics of the 60’s. Their fists clench and raised on the podium for black power.
If the damn media would stop showing and promoting this crap, it would end when the attention has been eliminated. I could care less if the NFL exists today, tomorrow or forever. Most of those self import A holes would be working on or driving garbage trucks like hard working people do instead of play a game. Perhaps if they put on a “real” uniform (Military) they might respect the advantages they have been GIVEN. I have ZERO RESPECT for those who protest or those who support them.

Go to Hell, NFL!
All these years of wasting time on autumn Sundays watching illiterate millionaires bash each other’s heads in are no more for me.The liberals in this country, and that includes most of these NFL players, are spoiled, ungrateful people towards this country. Our side is not gonna take this crap anymore. The lefties are the ones who’ve ruined this country not us.
Disgraceful, but not illegal.
"Trump had stoked tensions"?
Bias?
What bias?
How many players remained standing?
Well said. The few rotten apples are also hurting the many patriotic NFL players on their team.
Yeah, they stood for the Brits who have a longer history of black oppression than we do.
Shows what absolute morons they are.
[Real Americans are fed up with this disrespect for our country.]
They are also fed up with politics being injected into everything by these self righteous SJW idiots.
By permitting black players to celebrate on-field with the Black Power Fist the NFL is setting the stage for an on-field race war.
Yes, indeed. Imagine some southern white boys doing some white power salute. Imagine the NFL allowing it. Yet that is exactly what the NFL is permitting, the other way.
See #28.
Welcome to Bizzaro World. They will not get fired. They will get protest bonuses.
