A restaurant in South Carolina will not play National Football League games until players stop disrespecting the American flag by kneeling during the National Anthem.

“No NFL games will be played at Palmetto Alehouse until every player stands in respect to our flag and our country,” David McCraw, the owner of Palmetto Restaurant & Ale House, wrote in a message on Facebook. “This is a position that I’m going to take and I hope you will support me.”
