Trump rally crowd chants 'LeBron James sucks'

President Trump appeared to segue from politics to sports on Monday as he embarked on a sprint of rallies the day before Election Day.

While at a rally in Pennsylvania, a state that is crucial to winning the 2020 presidential election, Trump began speaking about basketball, USA Today reported.

"How about LeBron? I felt badly for LeBron, very badly. Down 71 percent, and that's with the championship," Trump said. "I didn't watch one shot. I get bored. Back, forth, back, forth. You know why? When they don't respect our country, when they don't respect our flag, nobody wants to watch."

The president likely was referring to the silent protest against police brutality that professional athletes have adopted in recent years where they kneel during the national anthem. When the NBA season began in July, after the high-profile deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, players were allowed to wear jerseys that replaced their names with slogans in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
