President Trump criticized a player from his hometown New York Giants who knelt while a U.S. Army Master Sergeant sang the national anthem on Thanksgiving.
"Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players," Trump tweeted Friday, after defensive back Olivier Vernon took a knee at FedEx Field in Maryland late Thursday
Appearing to refer to Vernon, Trump said it appears the "players are the boss" while NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has "lost control of the hemorrhaging league."
Vernon, 27, was the only player during Big Blue's game against the Washington Redskins to protest during the "Star-Spangled Banner."
He told Newsday that he would resume standing for the anthem in the future "if people can understand what the whole message is behind [taking a knee]."
Vernon said a lot of people don't appreciate the true message behind his silent protest, "which is basically social injustice on African-Americans, and police brutality."
