Trump calls for WNBA boycott
von Flint: Donald Trump
The NFL is the template here. Trump wants a national boycott of the WNBA, and the argument runs through the anthem: players clearing the floor while the USA National Anthem plays, which he calls a big deal going on. In the quote he says the NFL pulled that for a while and quit once people stopped WATCHING, and women's basketball should get the same treatment unless it's fixed. Ratings took a dive during the NFL's kneeling stretch and the league reversed itself, per the post. It also claims WNBA players get rich off America and disrespect it. So the push is to tune them out and cut the money off, and the post ends by saying the WNBA should be ripped apart

Stand up for the Olympics. Hey, by the way, what's going on with the women's NBA? What's that all about? You know, they'll destroy themselves before they get started because they just started to do good. You had a player here who was very good, who was very helpful to that. No, it's a big deal going on. They leave the court when the national anthems play. What's that all about? You know, the NFL did that for a while, and they stopped because people stopped watching the games. So I think you should do the same thing with women's basketball unless they get there. And what about LeBron James? Did you see that deal?
