Donald Trump has declared that he will no longer watch U.S. soccer and will likely not watch NFL games after the governing bodies of both sports approved kneeling during the national anthem.
Trump on Saturday tweeted his support for Matt Gaetz, a congressman from Florida, and Jim Jordan, congressman for Ohio, who have both been outspoken about the sports.
On Tuesday the U.S. soccer federation reversed its three-year ban on kneeling during the anthem.

Note to POTUS: I’d send you birthday greetings on Twitter by retweeting #Trump4Eva, but they booted my happy heinie last year. Happy Birthday, Mr. President! God bless you and yours!
Who would have ever believed that in the once proud freedom-loving United States that groveling submission on the knees would be lauded as virtuous.
People that do that are not the type that can win world wars, or maintain a free country, or deserve a free country.
Many people have stopped watchng these team sports and stopped buying the products of their advertisers.
If that’s a dog whistle, I’ll heel.
MAGA
When you kneel to another, you put your head in easy kicking range.
I kneel only to God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and of all things, seen and unseen.
He’s a racist.
That’s what I was called on hundreds of twitter posts when I said I’m done with NASCAR for the same reason. The idiots running the joint made four SJW cave in’s in under a week, the last being that crews no longer had to honor the flag.
I was a fan for about 50 years. A serious fan for at least 35. I’m done. Call me what you want.
In the words of Jerry Glanville - Not For Long! I hope the league goes bankrupt.
They had to lay off almost 70% of NFL Films and Network employees.
They are not publicly traded so they aren't required to reveal their financials.
I wonder why they decided on such a drastic reduction that went mostly unreported?
International soccer is meant to be a source of national pride. And even with our poor showings, it brought out the jingoist in me and many other patriotic Americans. One would see more red, white, and blue in one US soccer game than just about anywhere else.
Now they’ve gone and ruined it. And just like that, I’m over it.
I was watching a live feed of the mayhem in ATL last night and the guy streaming it made a point to tell everyone to watch the NASCAR race in Miami today because the BLM car was going run.
As if he or any of his comrades ever watched a NASCAR race before?
I say this as an African-American USAF veteran, I will not be watching either. This country is not perfect, but after living overseas for 12 years out of my life, Dorothy was right: there’s no place like home.
I never watched communist kickball and I gave up on the NFL at least 15 years ago.
Add the NBA as well. 80 millionaire thugs don’t want to play either. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. LeBron and his 6th grade thinking begone.
Welcome aboard, Mr President!
me too! But it is good to know you are in step with the boss!
good point - in fact there should be no taxpayer dollars going to any advertising of the NFL or the soccer association.
50% of the NFL are felons no wonder the kneel.
bttt
I’ve e-mailed NASCAR voicing my
displeasure. Politics create division
when introduced to sports. Bubba Wallace
should have been ‘black’ flagged.
