A majority of Americans agree with President Donald Trump when it comes to NFL players' protests during the national anthem, according to a new survey.
A new poll from the right-leaning Remington Research Group found that nearly two-thirds of Americans — 64 percent — believe football players “should stand and be respectful during the national anthem.”
Following Sunday's NFL-wide “Star-Spangled Banner” protest by numerous players, 50 percent of Americans said they are “less likely” to tune in when their favorite teams play in the future.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said they already started off the year watching less football than they did in 2016 and 69 percent said the reason is that “players [are] using the NFL as a stage for their political views.”
While 31 percent said they support the players' demonstration during the national anthem, 60 percent said there is “a more appropriate place to protest.”
