Just like the Chinese government criticizing the NBA, we had POTUS criticizing the
NFL and the players that protested. In fact, communist China managed to be more civil than our own president, even if both are wrong and attacking folks for exercising their free speech privileges.

Trump even pressured owners on the issue privately:
“This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump told Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in a phone call, Jones said in a deposition. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.”

Jones later relayed that conversation to a meeting of the owners as they debated how to handle the protests, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross testified. Ross said he was “totally supportive” of the players until Trump weighed in.

China is dead wrong in this, but when the US government was the one doing something similar many folks on CB were perfectly okay with it.
