In a skewering Tweet, President Trump hammered the NFL over its ratings and the refusal of the league to take action against players kneeling during the national anthem.
Wow, NFL first game ratings are way down over an already really bad last year comparison. Viewership declined 13%, the lowest in over a decade. If the players stood proudly for our Flag and Anthem, and it is all shown on broadcast, maybe ratings could come back? Otherwise worse!
