Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday suggested that sports fans stop purchasing the merchandise of professional athletes protesting the U.S. flag.
To all the athletes who have made millions in America's freedom: stop insulting our flag, our nation, our heroes. https://t.co/GrGPYX8HCh

Here's a peaceful protest: never buy another shoe, shirt, or jersey of rich spoiled athletes who dishonor our flag. https://t.co/GrGPYX8HCh

Cruz was addressing ESPN analyst and retired NBA player Jalen Rose’s praise of football stars demonstrating during the day before.
Salute to all @Nfl players & teams that peacefully did protests for change. #standfornothingfallforanything
