President Trump said Friday that NFL team owners should fire football players who refuse to stand for the national anthem, apparently in reference to Colin Kaepernick's protests last year in which he kneeled during the American flag ceremony.
Trump made the comments while speaking to a crowd in Huntsville, Alabama, in support of Sen. Luther Strange, a Republican facing a primary election next week.
Midway through the rally, Trump asked the crowd if they'd "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 continued as the crowd cheered. "He's fired."
The president said an NFL owner would become "the most popular person, for a week, they'll be the most popular person in this country" after firing a player who refused to stand for the anthem. And while "we have freedom of choice," Trump noted, it's "still totally disrespectful."
