Donald Trump has renewed his attack on NFL stars kneeling during the national anthem, by urging fans to stop going to games "until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country".
In tweets posted on Sunday morning, the US President told fans if they boycott matches "you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!"
He added: "...NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back US."

Mr Trump's latest criticisms of the protest brought an immediate response at Wembley Stadium, which hosted the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars, as at least a dozen players knelt during the national anthem.
That followed the intervention of the music legend Stevie Wonder, who became the biggest single name to back the growing movement.
As he took the stage for the Global Citizen Festival, aimed at eliminating poverty, the blind soul legend knelt, joining the protest against racial injustice started by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The 67-year-old told the crowd: "Tonight, I'm taking a knee for America".
On Saturday night, the protest spread to another sport, as Major League Baseball player Bruce Maxwell knelt during the anthem before his team, the Oakland Athletics, played the Texas Rangers, and he later predicted more will follow.

I hope Trump doesn’t retweet that.
I must be hungry. I read manicotti.
Imagine a stadium filled with people who STOOD and SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM every time one of these attention whore douchebags walked onto the field.
Let’s see them kneel in the middle of a play.
IF you’re going to pay to be there and get insulted, you should at least give them the attention they want - a giant middle finger and exercise YOUR right to free speech as well.
Stand and sing OUR National song every time they step on the field, and show them it’s still OUR Country.
Or at the very least, stand up and turn your back on them with a middle finger raised in the air.
Give them an “American Power” salute.
They should be called names far worse than SOB. Good for Trump to have enough balls to tell it like it is.

I’m sick of their racist whining. Slavery ended 152 years ago. GET OVER IT.
These guys have 160+ other countries to go to (and, nobody is going to stop them) to earn a living. If they want to protest the country that is paying them a God awful amount of money to play a game, they can go elsewhere.
I was not a Trumper but this man is OUTSTANDING
Trump is FEARLESS and he is correct
How about not allowing re entry to those who disrespected flag overseas. Especially consider the anthem is based on a battle with that nation.
problem is the studies are “butt hurt minority” as opposed to physics or engineering
America and Britain ENDED it WE DID NOT START IT so get that finger out of my face before I break it off and plant it in you hinder

McCarthy,Nixon,Reagan and others in the 50’s were absolutely right about Communism. We brought this to ourselves what we have today.

Proof that a high IQ isn’t required in the NFL.
