Trump Rips Marshawn Lynch For Sitting During American Anthem In Mexico

President Donald Trump is calling on the NFL to suspend Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch for sitting during "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Sunday's game in Mexico City but standing for the Mexican national anthem. 

Lynch was actually standing during the first few bars of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Sunday before taking a seat, according to ESPN. While Lynch stood for the Mexican anthem, he was not completely at attention, ESPN reported. 

Trump, who has repeatedly criticized NFL players who do not stand for the national anthem, took to Twitter early Monday morning to criticize Lynch for his protest before the game against the New England Patriots, who went on to win 33-8. 

"Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down," Trump tweeted.
