On Monday, President Donald Trump criticized an NFL player who sat down for the U.S. national anthem—but stood for the Mexican anthem.

Running back Marshawn Lynch from the Oakland Raiders sat during most of the “Star-Spangled Banner” at Sunday’s, Nov. 19, game against the New England Patriots at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. He stood instead for the Mexican anthem.
