US President Donald Trump has decided not to watch games in which players kneel during the intonation of the national anthem.
After the initiative appeared that the football players of the United States of America would kneel in support of the fight against racism during the intonation of the national anthem, the American president also spoke out.
The U.S. Football Association recently overturned a mandatory stop decision during the intonation of an anthem introduced in 2017 after Megan Rapinoe knelt in support of dark-skinned NFL player Colin Kaepernick.
Immediately after he heard that there was a possibility that the football players would kneel before the start of the match, Trump took to Twitter.
- I won’t be watching (the games) much anymore! – said the President of the USA, Donald Trump.

After that, Trump published another message in which he threatened not to watch American football matches either.
- And it looks like the NFL is heading in that direction also, but not with me watching! – The American President wrote on his twitter.

Jokes about Trump’s account have already started circulating on Twitter, and people ironically say that they “regret because they lost one fan”.
