President Donald Trump has volleyed his inevitable response to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a statement pronouncing Black Lives Matter and admitting the league was wrong in its handling of player protests.
Late Sunday night, the president took to Twitter and questioned Goodells statement, specifically asking if it meant that the league would allow players to protest during the national anthem. Calling the practice disrespecting toward the U.S. and its flag in the tweet, the president has long been critical of the protests used by players to peacefully call out racial inequality and police brutality in America.
The president also felt the need to elaborate on the word kneel, spelled out in all caps, adding not to stand.

Trumps question had essentially been asked and answered in Goodells statement, in which the commissioner said the NFL would encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.
