Trump disapproves of teams staying in locker room for anthem
While most of the NFL has moved on from the anthem issue, President Donald Trump remains upset that some players still aren't standing for "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that the NFL is thinking of forcing teams to stay in the locker room during the anthem, referring to a report from the Washington Post on Tuesday.
As with most ideas involving the anthem that do not force everyone to stand, Trump is not a fan.
The NFL is now thinking about a new idea - keeping teams in the Locker Room during the National Anthem next season. That’s almost as bad as kneeling! When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!.....

The tweet comes one day after Trump stated Marshawn Lynch should be suspended for sitting out the American national anthem but standing for the Mexican national anthem in Mexico last Sunday.
