Donald Trump and LeBron James national anthem dispute

Overview

President Donald Trump publicly criticized NBA player LeBron James following footage from a Philadelphia 76ers season opener against the New York Knicks. The footage showed James performing warm-up movements, including motions resembling basketball shots and golf swings, while ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ was played.

Trump labeled James a ‘total disgrace’ and a ‘kind of scandal,’ demanding that the athlete apologize to American military veterans and heroes.

James responded to the criticism with ironic remarks, telling reporters, ‘Must have been a slow news day at the office’ and ‘Seems like a quiet day in the office.’ Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse dismissed the controversy as ‘outside noise.’
