El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, criticó el viernes por la noche a los jugadores de la NFL que han protestado durante el himno nacional.
Durante una manifestación política en Huntsville, Alabama, Trump dijo: "No les gustaría ver a uno de esos dueños de la NFL decir, cuando alguien le falta el respeto a nuestra bandera, 'saquen a ese hijo de p... del terreno de juego en este momento. Fuera. Está despedido. Está despedido'".
Aquí está la forma en la que ex integrantes, actuales jugadores y directivos de la NFL reaccionaron en redes sociales:

We'll "stick to football" when we see progress. Our Nations leader can't even set a good example of how it looks to be a great American

Only validates @Kaepernick7 bringing social injustice to light, he kneeled hoping it'd bring attention to what he believed in... Has it not?

It is a sad day when the #POTUS seeks to disregard and punish American citizens for peacefully exercising their constitutional rights. https://t.co/QPvrKDS29D

When will people learn that fear won't make someone sit down. It quite possibly will make more stand up for what they believe in.
