Washington: United States president Donald Trump has said he will not watch the NFL or the US Soccer sides if players do not stand for the national anthem.
Trump blasted US Soccer’s new policy rescinding a requirement that players stand for the national anthem, saying he would not watch games under the new policy
“I won’t be watching much anymore!” Trump tweeted. US Soccer overturned a ban on players kneeling during the anthem on Thursday.
The practice was started by former NFL star Colin Kaepernick in 2016 to highlight racial inequality.
