President Donald Trump made headlines for his sports talk to start the weekend, first social injustice by kneeling during national anthems, then on Saturday for Stephen Curry and the NBA champion Golden State Warriors.Now, in response, from NFL commi sioner J.J. Redick Jersey Roger Goodell to longtime face of the NBA LeBron James , teams and athletes acro s profe sional sports have countered the president's statements.That includes the NHL's Blake Wheeler, Winnipeg Jets forward, suggesting that Trump's statements were an attack on freedom of speech."It's the First Amendment to our Constitution. The first one!" Wheeler said. "Regardle s of how it makes you feel individually, these are literally the principles the U.S. was founded on. Come on, Mr. President." Regardle s of how it makes you feel individually, these are literally the principles the US was founded on. Come on, Mr. President Blake Wheeler (@BiggieFunke) Tampa Bay Lightning forward J.T. Brown chimed in as well, retweeting Saturday three different criticisms of Trump, including James' comments and an , who said "the behavior of the President is Jahlil Okafor Jersey unacceptable and needs to be addre sed."Trump has not directly addre sed the NHL, but Brown about athletes' freedom not to "stick to sports," especially when, , the president doesn't "stick to politics." The 27-year-old right winger told ESPN in August that "if everybody stuck to what they're supposed to do, we wouldn't have made the strides we made to get to where we are." And those comments came just weeks after Brown donated $1,500 toward the relocation of a Confederate statue in downtown Tampa, an effort endorsed by the area's three major profe sional sports teams. In September 2016, the Lightning forward also questioned whether Columbus Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, in suggesting he would bench any player if they mimicked the national anthem demonstrations of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, would "only further prove Kap's point of oppre sion."
