Trump Launches New Attacks On Kneeling NFL Players The U.S. president has renewed his attacks on NFL players who kneel during the national anthem. In a tweet, Trump claimed the players don't know what they're protesting. The tweet comes after numerous players kneeled during the national anthem at several NFL preseason <br />games Thursday night. The president's criticism of athletes, particularly black athletes, has become a point of contention. Trump has told associates that he believes his stance on the anthem is a winning one that riles up his base. With the NFL season beginning in a month and the Midterm elections soon after, the president is expected to make the national anthem topic <br />a big issue.
