In 2017, Trump loudly criticized NFL players for protests against social justice launched by former San Francisco 49ers defender Colin Kaepernick.
Trump’s critique has deepened the debate over the country’s most watched sports league.
The protests gained popularity and social acceptance, especially after police killed George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis in May after an officer knelt on his neck for an extended period of time and pushed Floyd to the streets.
In June, Trump tweeted that he would no longer watch football or soccer after the American Football Association issued guidelines that players should not stand under the National Anthem.
In July, Trump suggested that players look for alternatives to kneeling to express their views.
“[T]there are many ways you can show that you are unhappy, ”he said then.
In August, he reiterated his position, saying he preferred the NFL not to continue playing if players chose to kneel.
