President Donald Trump says 'NFL should suspend' former Super Bowl champion after latest national anthem protest

This escalated quickly.

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch took another approach to the national anthem protests when he sat for the American national anthem, but stood for the Mexican national anthem. This wasn't going to go unnoticed by the President of the United States though as he has taken quite an interest in the protests. President Trump went so far as to suggest a suspension for Lynch.

Marshawn Lynch was caught wearing a "Trump vs. Everybody" shirt before Oakland's game against Denver earlier this year.

Lynch has spent much of the year in plenty of controversy whether he's stood or sat during the anthem over his career.
