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.

Ill say it again: Give every one of them $X* to renounce their citizenship and any and all claims against the USA and CSA and give them a one way ticket to Liberia.
The 150+ year old problem of what to do with the Civil War contraband will >>>finally<<< be answered.
They dont belong here, they never did and they never will.
*$X is a Helluva lot cheaper than to continue to $upport (((them))) for another God only knows generations. Just the decline in crime rates and subsequent tax dollar$ needed for policing will pay for the resettlement in no time.

Are you advocating appeasement to the progressive/communists?
I am with Trump-—as I would think that most of the 62 million voters who put him into the White House are.
Lebron James showed himself to be a total punk. No more NBA for me, either.
He sure gets a lot of grief for being a good Samaritan.
Which makes the NFL thugocracy look even worse.
I bet Pat Tillman’s parents are thrilled with the NFL...
Thank you for that correction.....
Are you advocating appeasement to the Proud Boys, League of the South, CCC, or any of the numerous groups and individuals who fought at the Battle of Charlottesville or the Battle of Berkley.
Wow, Battle of Charlottesville and the Battle of Berkeley, I am going to review military history on those “battles”
Sir, since you answered my question with a question, it is readily apparent where your loyalties lie.
I will give you the respect and courtesy that you did not provide me, i would not appease groups that advocate for special treatment.
Good suggestion but first we would need to have the tightest border security. Gov’t and institutional infrastructure is taken over by traitors and either actively participate or at least support Sedition.
The enemy from within, now numbering in the millions, need to be purged or they will just regroup and multiply.
