President Donald Trump isn’t watching the NBA, and the league’s biggest star doesn’t care.
LeBron James said players aren’t concerned about Trump turning off the television when athletes kneel during the National Anthem.
“I really don’t think the basketball Community are sad about his viewership, him viewing the game, ” LeBron James told reporters After the game against Oklahoma City which Los Angeles Lakers lost. “And that’s all I got to say.”
Trump has criticised athletes for not standing during the National Anthem ever since former San Fransisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, started the protest in 2016.
The President recently told “Fox & Friends,” that he doesn’t watch games if players participate in the Movement, which is meant to protest police brutality.
The NBA returned after 114 days of no play due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Twenty-two of the league’s teams are competing at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
Nearly every player and coach has knelt when “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played before each game start.
