Last night, President Donald Trump called for “son of a bitch” NFL players to be fired for protesting during the national anthem while speaking at a rally in Alabama.

Trump’s comments has drawn the ire of several high profile NBA and NFL athletes including Rockets star Chris Paul who thinks the President isn’t man enough to call players a “son of a bitch” to their face.
With everything that's going on in our country, why are YOU focused on who's kneeling and visiting the White House??? #StayInYoLane

And I doubt he's man enough to call any of those players a son of a bitch to their face…

Paul’s comments came shortly after his banana boat buddy LeBron James called Trump a “bum’ on the social media site.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

It’s been an interesting Saturday to say the least.
