President Donald Trump tweeted his disapproval of the NFL Sunday morning before the first full list of games.
The president criticized the players for their protests against social injustice during the national anthem, and the league for not demanding that players be sidelined when playing "the stars and stripes".
He referred to weaker ratings on NBC in the first game of Thursday night in which Super Bowl champion Philadelphia defeated Atlanta 18-12.
"Wow, the first assessments of the NFL game are way above an already very bad comparison of last year," tweeted Trump. "The number of viewers has decreased by 13%, the lowest in more than ten years. If the players stood up proudly for our flag and our anthem, and everything is shown on the broadcast, maybe the odds could come back? Otherwise worse!
The NFL has unilaterally adopted a policy requiring players to pay attention to the anthem or remain in the locker room or tunnel under the bleachers. When this policy was heavily criticized, it was put on hold while the league and players association was discussing other options. These discussions are continuing.
