Players in the National Football League (NFL) have knelt and locked arms in a wave of protests at US President Donald Trump's "offensive" and "divisive" comments aimed at their teammates.
In a growing row with the sports world, Mr Trump insisted that players who failed to stand during the national anthem should be fired or suspended.
Sports fans should never condone players that do not stand proud for their National Anthem or their Country. NFL should change policy!

Sunday's protests are the largest of their kind since they began last year.
Players have been protesting at racial injustice and police violence.
