President Trump is urging supporters to sign a petition declaring that they believe in standing for the national anthem — his latest effort to put pressure on the NFL over players who kneel in protest during the anthem. Add your name below to show your patriotism and support," says the petition by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a fundraising group. The petition was also promoted by the Republican National Committee on Twitter and its website. It does not say how many signatures it has garnered so far. The petition came days after NFL team owners, executives and players met in New York, where they decided that the league would not implement a rule forcing players to stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner." Goodell said he understood the concerns of the players — who are seeking to draw attention to racial injustice and police brutality — but he hopes the league can bring the total number of protesters down to zero. The decision came amid a prolonged feud between Trump and the NFL that began last month when he called on football teams to fire players who took a knee. The president has called the protests disrespectful, and has urged supporters to walk out of games when players kneel during the anthem.

. Alejandro Villanueva was the only player on the Pittsburgh Steelers to come out of the locker room Sunday when the national anthem played ahead of the game. Most of the players on the Steelers stayed in their locker room as the national anthem played before their game Sunday in Chicago. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said ahead of the game the team would not be participating in the anthem. If a guy wants to go about his normal business and participate in the anthem, he shouldn't be forced to choose sides,” Tomlin told CBS before the game. "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now,'" Trump said at a rally in Alabama on Friday. "'He is fired.'" "Courageous Patriots have fought and died for our great American Flag --- we MUST honor and respect it! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
