Marc Anthony is not happy with President Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, the president drew heavy criticism when he lambasted NFL players who knelt during the national anthem, saying that anyone who did so was a “son of a b***h” who deserved to be fired.
However, Anthony is calling on the president to turn his attention away from the NFL and toward the hurricane-ravaged island of Puerto Rico.

“Mr. President shut the f**k up about NFL. Do something about our people in need in #PuertoRico. We are American citizens too,” Anthony said.
Mr. President shut the fuck up about NFL. Do something about our people in need in #PuertoRico. We are American citizens too.

Currently, Puerto Rico is in a state of crisis after being battered by multiple hurricanes. After Hurricane Maria passed directly over the island, the power grid on the island has been crippled, and a massive dam is threatening to crumble entirely.
There is very little communication available on the island as even the emergency response to the crisis has been hampered by things like hospitals that do not have any running water.
Recently, Anthony and his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, announced that they were spearheading efforts to help the island in need.
