U.S. President Donald Trump kicked a sleeping tiger last week, criticizing professional athletes who refuse to stand during the playing of the national anthem at sporting events. At a rally last Friday, Trump called the kneel-in protest unpatriotic. The tiger kicked back Sunday, as hundreds of National Football League players joined the protest in a massive display of defiance. VOA White House correspondent Peter Heinlein reports.
