American football players defied Donald Trump for a second week running by taking a knee during the national anthem before a game at Wembley Stadium.

Three Miami Dolphins players dropped to one knee during the anthem ahead of their game today against New Orleans Saints continuing the demonstration, which started as a protest over police violence against black men.

New Orleans Saints players also protested by taking a knee together before the national anthem. The renew protests came after President Trump tweeted yesterday calling on players to stand and ‘respect our flag’.
