Donald Trump electrified twitter with a string of tweets attacking the NFL and their Anthem Protests.
If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL,or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect….

…our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem. If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to do!

Roger Goodell of NFL just put out a statement trying to justify the total disrespect certain players show to our country.Tell them to stand!

If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!

…NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S.

Whether you agree with Trump or not should not be the debate here if you are the NFL. The bottom line is that getting into a war with Trump over a political issue is an unwinnable battle for them. While Trump will gain support form his base and Pro-American moderates the NFL will lose a ton of money due to the boycotts that will follow.
