The NFL is revisiting its policy on protests during the national anthem, and so too is President Donald Trump.

As the debate has returned to the foreground, Trump took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to offer his resolution.

"The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!" Trump said.

NFLPA president Eric Winston shot back at Trump, saying the league can handle the issue without the president's input.

The NFL is working with the NFLPA on an appropriate resolution to the debate that will placate the players, owners, and league.
