In the Nfl there are many talks and an on going debate on whether it is right to knee during the national anthem. On Sunday more than 20 players in the NFL kneeled during their national anthem. After seeing a great amount of players protest President Trump tweeted "Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the National Anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag and Country. No leadership in NFL!".

Many teams do not tell the players they have to stand other than a couple teams like the Titans the coach threatened to bench any player who sits during the anthem. Pictured is the Russell Okung, a player on the Titians, stood with his fist raised high during the national anthem showing his respect to the Anthem and the country.

The owners of the NFL are worried that if more people continue to kneel are people going to stop supporting the NFL. Soon we will see changes in the policies of the NFL and see if more people stop supporting the leagues.
