Anti-American national anthem protests are sweeping across the National Football League.
Fans are outraged as players kneel during the Star-Spangled Banner and make racist black power gestures.
But Donald Trump shut down these America hating protesters with just two words.
Speaking at a rally in Alabama, Trump ripped anthem protesters for not respecting the American flag or the nation’s heritage.
He even deployed his signature catch-phrase from his time hosting The Apprentice – “You’re fired!” – to say what should happen to spoiled athletes who trash the memory of veterans who fought and died for them to have the right to make millions playing a child’s game.
Politico reported:
“Wouldn’t 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 — he’s fired,’” Trump said at a rally in Alabama for Republican Sen. Luther Strange.
He added, “We’re proud of our country, and we’re proud of our flag.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell fired off a statement in response where he preened for the approval of the media with virtue signaling language about how NFL anthem protesters were really great uniters who just want to make America a better place.

But Trump spoke for millions of patriotic Americans who are tired of having their flag and national anthem dragged through the mud by race baiting and anti-American athletes.
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.

NFL ratings are in the tank and every public survey has found that players protesting the national anthem was the number one reason they are tuning out the games.
The NFL just planted their flag against their fan base.
We will keep you up to date on further developments in the NFL’s implosion into being a vehicle for anti-American behavior.
