Newt Gingrich: NFL may abandon National Anthem

In its bid to skirt the issue of professional football players and coaches protesting America at the beginning of games, the NFL might just stop playing the National Anthem, warns former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

In a note to supporters, the author of the recently-released book “Understanding Trump,” said, “My fear is that the NFL will succumb to pressure and try to sidestep the problem by no longer performing the National Anthem before games.” He added, “This would be the worst path to take.”
