President Donald Trump called into Clay Travis’s Fox Sports radio show on Tuesday morning to talk about the impact of COVID-19 on sports, but he couldn’t resist hitting on his favorite topic: athletes protesting by kneeling during the national anthem.
After talking about Tom Brady’s move from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Trump discussed the NFL as a whole. He complimented the NFL and team owners for working with “government” to open their season safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but said that he’d rather there be no professional football this year if players choose to kneel during the anthem.
