PresidentDonald Trumptook some heat during Wednesday’s examination of the Sports Broadcasting Act.
Representatives ripped theNational Football Leaguefor broadcasting games exclusively to streaming services, costing some fans nearly $1,000 to watch their favorite teams.
However, one Democratic rep felt it necessary to take an unrelated swipe at Trump after he attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Trump became the first sitting president to attend the NBA Finals when he watched his hometown New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.The Knicks won the first two games of the series in San Antonio before dropping Monday’s home game.
In a hearing that was largely about the NFL having fans pay absurd prices to watch games on streaming sites, Rep.Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., seemed to blame Trump for the Knicks’ loss.
“We cannot discuss anything related to sports today without taking note of the sports story happening in this country today – the New York Knicks’ drive for an NBA championship.Tonight is Game 4, and as long as Donald Trump stays far away from Madison Square Garden, the Knicks should do fine.Let’s go Knicks,” Nadler said.

TRUMP SAYS NBA IS ‘GOOD ENTERTAINMENT’ DESPITE IT BEING ‘A LITTLE LEFT-WING’ AFTER ATTENDING FINALS
Trump received a massive reaction from the Madison Square Garden crowd on Monday, mostly in contrast with how he was received in Florida for the college football national championship.
Trump’s arrival in New York involvedenhanced security throughout the city.A security fence went up around MSG.The Secret Service and other law enforcement officials performed their duties to the highest standard, which meant longer lines and wait times to get into the arena.
Watch parties in the area were canceled, with the NYPD claiming it was because of security for Trump’s visit.They will return for Game 4 on Wednesday.
