Several national anthem performers have taken a knee after singing the anthem in recent weeks, including at an Oakland Raiders game and a Detroit Lions game.
The demonstrations follow weeks of NFL players kneeling or linking arms during the playing of the national anthem. President Trump attacked players for not standing, referring to any player that kneels as a “son of a bitch” and calling on team owners to fire players who don’t stand.
