NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a letter to the owners of all 32 football teams on Tuesday writing that “everyone should stand for the national anthem.”

Goodell sent the letter mere hours after President Donald Trump asked on Twitter whether NFL should keep its tax breaks while allowing players to disrespect the flag.
