'Great Anger': Trump Tweets About Dallas Cowboys Kneeling As Team
- 7 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday posted more NFL tweets.
In the wake of the entire Dallas Cowboys team taking a knee prior to the national anthem on Monday, President Trump posted more NFL tweets Tuesday morning.
"The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest I have ever heard. Great anger," Trump said. "But while Dallas dropped to its knees as a team, they all stood up for our National Anthem. Big progress being made-we all love our country!"
"Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!" the president stated in another tweet.
The controversy erupted on Friday after Trump “used an expletive to describe players who kneel or sit during the anthem to protest police brutality against black Americans and other forms of social injustice," reports the New York Times.
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b—-h off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” Trump said at a campaign-style rally in Alabama.
