McCain defends NFL protests: 'That's their right'
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) affirmed on Tuesday the right of NFL players kneeling in protest of the national anthem at football games.
"That's their right to do what they want to do as citizens," McCain told TMZ.
McCain's comments come after the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones knelt before the national anthem at a Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals, but later stood during the anthem's performance.
