The controversy continues with many kneeling during the anthem. A protest that has gained more momentum after Trump made recent comments.
The protest has stretched far and wide. What started with one man desire for change has grown on a large scale.
The protest is no longer by one man but by many. It has affected player, owners and the fans.
It has affected other sports, which include the NBA, MLB and NASCAR.
The NFL suffers the most though, and that has become very evident.
Trump pushed the situation to a new high as he asked owners to fire players. He wanted those who refuse to acknowledge the anthem to be fired.
Fans
The NFL is the most popular sport in the US. It garners the most money of any of the sports. This is evident when the super bowl comes around.
The cost of advertising on that day is very costly.
Things could change though, as fans all over NFL country are getting frustrated. The protest has hit home. It has done so in a big way.
The situation has created a barrier, forcing many to choose a side. One will defend the President and what he did. The other will support the players and why they kneel.
Fans at the game which saw the Cowboys kneeling became angry. They booed as the owner of the team joined his players.
They were disgusted that he chose to join them in solidarity. The group locked arms and went on one knee.
Many believe that the stadium will see a drop in attendance. This is expected to happen with many of the venues where teams take a knee.
