I don't blame him at all. Those players who kneel during the anthem, are what Trump said they are. Kneeling is showing of a total sign of disrespect to flag, which people fought and died for it's freedoms and they are bringing the games in to disrepute by signalling the players own politics in to the games.
It's just like the Emmy!s last week, an award ceremony turned into a pathetic liberal overkill and Trump bashing session. Though Trump had the last laugh, given how many Americans decided not to watch it.
Can you imagine the uproar, if any one of the England team, sat or kneeled during "God save the Queen" ?

Yeah but it's still all Trump's fault you realise...
The players can protest about what they wish but to make a point of doing so during the national anthem is grossly disrespectful.
