the President strong-arming a private entity into curtailing free speech?

It's not tho

Yes, it is, and under the guise of some nonsense about disrespecting our troops or something. (Apparently forgetting that freedom of speech was so important that it was one of the first things they put in the Constitution while the duty to stand for the national anthem to respect the troops is somewhere in the . . . Wait, it's not there at all.)

and many veterans suppor the players.....

And many don't

They're not protesting the troops anyway. It should be a non-issue. The flag isn't our troops. The national anthem isn't our troops. The flag isn't a military symbol.

The flag does not symbolize our military might be a better way to word it.
