Donald Trump vs Athletes

Donald Trump has long been at odds with American football players - he accuses them of disrespecting the anthem, and they criticize it in the press and carry out actions directed personally against the president. But now things have gone much further: Trump canceled the traditional meeting at the White House with the NFL champions Philadelphia Eagles less than a day before it, when he learned that almost none of the players would show up anyway. Instead, he invited fans to a patriotic event - and during it he could not remember the words to the song "God Bless America", which, in fact, every American has known since childhood. Against the background of all these events, NBA stars also began to say that they are unlikely to come to Trump's dinner after the end of the season.
