Donald Trump was previously dealing with the Ball family and their troubles in China, managing to give a hand in bringing LiAngelo Ball and his two teammates back from China after they were caught shoplifting.
Since then, Trump has shifted his focus back to the NFL, this time setting his sights on Oakland Raiders player Marshawn Lynch. Before the Raiders’ game against New England Patriots, Lynch took a seat while the American National Anthem was playing. However, when the Mexican anthem was played, Lynch stood up. The Mexican anthem was played due to the fact that the game took place at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
Trump took advantage of the 280-character jump on Twitter, saying “Marshawn Lynch of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem.”
He went on to say “Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down.” Lynch sitting down during the National Anthem falls in line with the previous 11 weeks he’s played, where also sat during the Star-Spangled Banner.
