President Donald Trump slammed the National Football League yet again on Tuesday, calling it "weak and out of control."
Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program also discussed the NFL Tuesday morning, in an interview with comedian and podcast host Chad Prather and U.S. Army veteran Graham Allen.
Allen said that veterans view the protests as "blatant disrespect for the men and women who fought and died for our country."
"I believe America is speaking," Allen said, regarding NFL ratings and attendance declines amid the protests about racial injustice.
"We are not going to stand behind an organization that allows this to happen," he added.
"The NFL is a job at the end of the day… you wear their uniforms, you are subject to whatever rules and regulations they tell you to do. America wants the NFL to do something about this," Allen told the morning program.
