During a year where fans likely won’t be in attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic, the very last thing the NFL could use was another back and forth with the President.
2016 was a very trying year for the NFL as President Trump attacked the NFL and players kneeling during the Anthem, even going as far to call them ‘sons of bitches’ who should be taken off the field and fired.
It looks like we may be headed for that area yet again after Trump started commenting on Anthem kneeling recently in regards to Drew Brees’ recent comments.
On Tuesday, the President didn’t say anything, but rather retweeted this message from the chair of the American Conservative Union: “I will never buy another NFL ticket until they go back to playing football and stop dividing America.”
Seeing as how it’s an election year, you can fully expect this to go on for months.
