Donald Trump caused a major uproar at the weekend when he referred to NFL players who ‘take a knee’ during the national anthem as “sons of b******”.
And his comments were met with widespread reaction from the players in protest against the president’s attack on the league.
Over the course of the weekend matches, many players in the NFL took part in a silent protest by either taking a knee or locking arms to protest against social injustice and racism during the national anthem.
And the Dallas Cowboys became the latest NFL side to take part in the protest during the national anthem ahead of their match against the Arizona Cardinals.
Before the match it was reported the team would possibly take part in the protest with one player stating Trump “crossed a line”.
One player said, “We have to do something.”
Said another, “It’s not going to be business as usual. He crossed a line. Something will be done.”
