“Ballers” has a knack for tying in real-life NFL headlines, but co-star Rob Corddry would be fine if the Dwayne Johnson-starring show steers clear of the current discussion surrounding the national anthem.
Corddry, who plays Joe Krutel on the HBO comedy that aired its Season 3 finale last Sunday, told TheWrap that he doesn’t expect or want the show to address the ongoing debate over players kneeling during the national anthem that has become a wedge issue for President Donald Trump.
“I personally think Trump just made this a story, and he’s also kind of backed off on it,” the actor said.
