President Donald Trump isn’t in favor of National Football League players kneeling during the national anthem. But he believes that the original kneeler, former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, should get another chance to play in the league.
Trump previously has been famously against kneeling during the anthem, calling on NFL owners to fire players who protested in that manner.
