President Trump said in a tweet Tuesday he is looking forward to watching sports but suggested he would stop watching a game if he sees a player taking a knee during the national anthem.
"Looking forward to live sports, but any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!" he tweeted.
His tweet came a day after San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler joined several players in kneeling before their victory against the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
Kapler said he told the team he wanted to use his platform "to demonstrate my dissatisfaction with the way we've handled racism in our country," adding that he also wanted the players to feel safe speaking up, according to The Associated Press.

He disrespects the flag every time he humps it like a horny chihuahua. Stay the fuck away. Us sports fans don't need you.

Besides, who gives a damn if you are watching or not watching? Nobody cares about YOU!

(65,381 posts)My first thought was "Wow, PINO's right about something!". The game is over.
Then I realized he was blathering about watching sports.
Last item: except at the Superbowl, the NFL doesn't even show the stupid anthem playing on TV. Big you've ever been to a game, you'd know they play that song 10 minutes before kickoff. The telecast starts 1 minute before kickoff.
So, you wouldn't see anyone kneeling anyway!
Same with the NBA!
He's such a dolt.
