President Donald Trump said the NFL should have suspended former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick when he began his campaign to sit during the national anthem.

Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that the NFL probably would not have the problems it has now if they had been more proactive at the beginning.
