I think Trump could defuse this from his end, by tweeting something like “As far as I’m concerned, if the owners don’t mind, players are free to protest peacefully, so long as our anthem and flag are not disrespected. Good luck with revenues!”
If asked if he is encouraging a fan boycott, he can say “No, I’m just making a business observation.”
