With all the comments made by players against him, it's safe to say that President Donald Trump is not the most well-loved personality among NBA players and other professional sports athletes in the country.
Trump's recent speech in Alabama was filled with a lot of controversy as he uttered some choice words which did not sit well with many. Charles Barkley spoke about it on Inside the NBA, where he said he felt embarrassed that the POTUS still received huge cheers from the crowd on hand.
“Hurts me that those ignorant folks in Alabama would applaud something so stupid.”

Players have been very active on social media since the last elections, as many of them are not in favor of him running the country. Their dislike for Donald Trump rose further when he withdrew his invitation to the Golden State Warriors to visit the White House, and the shots he made to the NFL stemming from the demonstrations their players display during the singing of the National Anthem.
Given the stature and popularity of these athletes, they have millions of followers on social media, and it can be expected that they will continue to voice out their opinion about different social concerns and issues concerning the commander-in-chief.
