NFL CALLS "FAKE NEWS" ON TRUMP
We're Not Making Players Stand!
The NFL says Donald Trump is WRONG by tweeting that Commish Roger Goodell is forcing players
to stand for the national anthem ... claiming POTUS completely misunderstood Goodell's message.
FYI, Goodell had sent a letter to NFL owners this week saying league officials "believe
that everyone should stand" for the anthem -- but said nothing about implementing a rule
about it.
Fast-forward to Wednesday morning when Trump tweeted, "It is about time that Roger Goodell
of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT
OUR COUNTRY."
But the NFL says Trump is off base -- issuing a new statement in response to the President's
tweet.
"Commentary this morning about the Commissioner's position on the Anthem is not accurate," the
league said, specifically referencing Trump.
"As we said yesterday, there will be a discussion of these issues at the owners meeting next
week.
The NFL is doing the hard work of trying to move from protests to progress, working to
bring people together."
So far, Trump's tweet is still at the top of his Twitter page.
