President Donald Trump again took to Twitter to criticize the NFL, threatening not to watch games if players are allowed to kneel during the national anthem.
After Ohio congressman Jim Jordan tweeted about United States Soccer repealing the ban on players taking a knee during the national anthem, Trump responded by bringing up the NFL:
In a video statement released last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league was "wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier, and [encouraged] all to speak out and peacefully protest."
Trump responded to the video on Twitter, questioning if Goodell was giving players permission to kneel during the national anthem before games:
Over the course of his presidency, Trump has gone after the NFL and its players for kneeling as a form of protest against police brutality and systemic racism.
