Legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka made it clear he’s not impressed with the idea of players kneeling during the national anthem on the 16-year anniversary of 9/11.

The Super Bowl championaddressedthe topic lateSunday nightwith TMZ Sports.

“I’d like to see it put on hold every day. I mean, there’s a time and place for everything. Before a football game is not the time or place for it. Period,” Ditka responded in part when asked if the national anthem protest should be put on holdMonday night.

WATCH:

This isn’t the first time Ditka has taken aim at national anthem protesters. Hepreviouslysaid national anthem protesters should get out of America.

Monday nightmarks the 16-year anniversary of the deadliest terror attack in American history. It will be complete chaos if players kneel during the anthem or during a 9/11 tribute. The NFL has already taken a substantial hit in the ratings. It certainly won’t help the league if it appears players are now disrespecting the victims of the horrific terrorist attack.
