The US President has become embroiled in a bitter fight with footie players over standing during the American national anthem.

Player Colin Kaepernik became the first player to kneel during the anthem, claiming it stood for the prosecution of black people and people of colour.

But The Donald claimed in a shocking outburst that anyone who refused to stand for The Star Spangled Banner should be fired on the spot.

This led to more players taking the knee, with even NFL owners joining players in linking arms to show solidarity.

Fighting back against the NFL, the Legends Football League, formally known as the Lingerie Football League, has stated that all players will stand for the anthem.

A statement on their Facebook page reads: “The LFL has and always will be in full recognition of our athlete’s First Amendment right to protest.

“From the league’s standpoint, our National Anthem and Flag are too sacred to the fabric of our country not to celebrate.”

It also released a video of the babes standing for the anthem with their hands on their chests.

It added: “It symbolises all the blood, sweat and tears that have been shed so that we as Americans can raise our flag across our nation.

“The LFL salutes all those who make this the greatest country in the world. And WE stand in salute of our flag.”
