President Donald Trump enjoys playing golf -- but his favorite contact sport is Twitter.
And though Trump is an avowed sports fan, athletes are amid his preferred opponents on his at present 280-grapheme bullhorn.
Since entering the White Business firm, Trump has tangled with American football players and basketball superstars in a series of recurring feuds.
"Slap-up disrespect!" he barked at the NFL'due south Marshawn Lynch, who protested during the U.s. national anthem at a game in Mexico.
As for LaVar Ball, the Los Angeles entrepreneur with three basketball game prodigy sons who calls himself the "Large Baller" -- and whose middle child LiAngelo was arrested in Communist china for shoplifting -- Trump labeled him an "Ungrateful fool!"
Some critics take criticized Trump's repeated attacks for alleged racial overtones; others say it'southward just part of his no-holds-barred style -- and totally in grapheme for the outspoken quondam television reality star.
- 'Disrespectful' protests or costless speech? -
Trump, whose own efforts to buy a National Football League team were rebuffed iii years ago, has urged NFL owners to fire any "son of a bitch" who stages a protest during "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the protests by kneeling during the canticle last year to describe attention to police brutality and racial injustice.
Trump insists that the protests are "disrespectful" to the anthem, flag and country, and his call for a boycott of the league has fatigued some back up.
In September, the president again courted controversy, this fourth dimension with the National Basketball game Clan (NBA) -- pop not just in the US only worldwide.
He withdrew a White Business firm invitation for the NBA champion Golden Country Warriors after star guard Stephen Curry, a critic of Trump's policies, said he was reluctant to make the traditional visit.
And at present, Trump'southward latest sports foil? Brawl.
Trump has blasted the outspoken father for not adequately thanking him for helping get LiAngelo returned to the United States from China, where he was arrested along with two UCLA teammates for shoplifting designer sunglasses.
"It wasn't the White Business firm, it wasn't the State Department, information technology wasn't male parent LaVar'southward so-called people on the basis in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME," Trump tweeted Wed from his Thanksgiving vacation in Florida.
- 'Ungrateful fool!' -
"LaVar is just a poor human'due south version of Don Rex, but without the hair," Trump added in a reference to the flamboyant, electric-haired battle promoter.
"Just think LaVar, you could have spent the next five to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in People's republic of china, just no NBA contract to back up you," Trump continued.
"Just remember LaVar, shoplifting is Not a petty thing. Information technology'southward a really big deal, specially in China," Trump said, before calling the Ball patriarch an "Ungrateful fool!" in a parting shot.
After a cursory lull, Trump as well returned this week to his war of words with the NFL over protesting players.
Lynch "stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem," Trump tweeted on Monday.
"Great boldness! Adjacent time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down," he tweeted.
Trump also went later on the NFL again on Wednesday following a report the league may keep teams in the locker room adjacent season during the playing of the national anthem.
"That's almost as bad as kneeling!" he tweeted. "When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!"
Most of the NFL players who take taken role in the protests are African-American, and Trump's repeated attacks against them have drawn abrupt burn.
"Donald Trump'southward favorite sport is attacking blackness athletes on Twitter," Tommy Vietor, a one-time National Security Council spokesman for President Barack Obama, tweeted on Wednesday.
After the Warriors were disinvited to the White Firm, NBA superstar LeBron James took to Twitter to call Trump a "bum."
"@StephenCurry30 already said he own't going! So therefore own't no invite. Going to the White House was a great honour until you showed up!" James tweeted.
James, who campaigned for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, went on to charge Trump of using sports to carve up Americans.
"For him to try to use this platform to try to split up united states of america even more than is not something I can stand up for and is not something I can be quiet nearly," the Cleveland Cavaliers star added.
Jemele Loma, a host on the ESPN sports channel, went then far equally to brand Trump a "white supremacist," prompting the White House to call for her firing and Trump to attack her personally.
James may be Trump'south nigh prominent critic in the NBA but he is far from the simply one.
Two NBA coaches -- Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs and Steve Kerr of the Warriors -- have been biting in their criticism of Trump simply have nevertheless to be the target of his Twitter ire.
Popovich blasted Trump last month as a "soulless coward" who was "unfit intellectually, emotionally and psychologically" to be in the White House.
