President Donald Trump is once again inserting himself into the culture war over protests by NFL athletes during the national anthem.

Trump tweeted on Friday that he "can't believe" the debate has reignited after The Associated Press reported on the Miami Dolphins formally telling players they could be punished for protesting on the field. The NFL and NFL Players Association said in a joint statement Thursday night they were halting enforcement of all anthem rules while they work out a solution.

Trump asks John Lynch Jersey , "Isn't it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart?"

No such requirement exists, but NFL owners voted in May to require players who wish to protest to remain in the locker room during "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Trump is proposing his own penalties Nick Vannett Jersey , calling on Commissioner Roger Goodell to "take a stand."

Trump tweets: "First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!"

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross says he hadn't decided whether to actually discipline players who protest during the national anthem when he formally told the team that the demonstrations could be punishable.

Ross said in a statement Friday that the one-sentence reference to "Proper Anthem Conduct" in the team's official discipline policy was merely a placeholder as the organization tried to comply with league rules.

The team's policy was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press and listed anthem conduct under behavior that could be found "detrimental to the club." The NFL and NFL Players Association said in a joint statement Thursday night that they planned to pause enforcement on league anthem rules while working out a resolution acceptable to players Emmanuel Lamur Jersey , team owners and the league.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of anthem discussions between the league and players union are private.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley declared himself ready for a full workload on Monday, but the outlook isn’t as positive for outside linebacker Olivier Vernon.

Vernon did not take part in practice on Monday as he continues to deal with the ankle injury he suffered in practice a little more than a week ago. Head coach Pat Shurmur called him day to day after X-Rays came back negative last week and said the team was holding out hope that Vernon can return to practice on Wednesday.

“He was in the training room Jason Verrett Jersey , getting treatment,” Shurmur said, via NJ.com. “We’re hopeful that he’ll practice Wednesday. But Phil Simms Jersey , we’ll have to see. The fact that he was inside today tells you that … He wasn’t out here.”

Vernon is a key part of both the run defense and pass rush for the Giants defense and his absence would rookie Lorenzo Carter into a bigger role in his first regular season game. The third-round pick had 1.5 sacks in the preseason.
