He was an owner of the New Jersey Generals in the original iteration of the league. Herschel Walker played for them at the time and he leaned into those connections to endorse the former football player in the Senate race in Georgia last year.Another sport that he is initimately associated with is golf. He owns many courses across the world. The Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster is among the most famous ones. Recently, he has called the proposed merger between LIV and PGA as something exciting and had previously presciently called out the merger.Mark J.

It was never more apparent as he, while President, led the charge against Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem. His call to fire him was effectively heeded as the former NFL quarterback remains blackballed to date.But there have been other NFl players, who have not been shy to speak out against him. Players like Russell Wilson have been vocal about their disdain. Taylor Lewan and Will Compton have never been explicit about their views but were courteous to the former President when they met him.
