With the first Sunday of the 2016 NFL season falling on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Rob Lowe wants to see players put their protest of the national anthem on hold.
The actor tweeted at the NFL on Saturday saying that any players planning on protesting the anthem be asked to stay in the locker room.
Dear @NFL Any player wants to boycott the anthem on 9/11 should be asked to remain in the locker room until kick off. It's not their moment.

TOTALLY agree with you. But there is a time and place. It's 9/11. Give it a rest for a day and respect the fallen. https://t.co/sl8qHY3GPQ
