President Trump turned on the NFL commissioner this evening, after Roger Goodell spoke out about the president condemning players who kneel in protest during the national anthem and calling on team owners to fire those players.
In a tweet, Trump said Goodell is "trying to justify the total disrespect certain players show to our country."

Id love to see these rich overpaid scum bags give the majority of their salaries to help the communities they claim are “SO oppressed” they won’t give a dime, they wont give a dime to help the inner cities, to fix up the schools, to clean up the neighborhoods..they give ZERO of their money..instead they all move into white neighborhood mega mansions and they cry about being oppressed..I wish I was so oppressed it would be nice living in a 15 bedroom mansion with 10 bathrooms
Tebow was praising God by kneeling and was slammed as a Christian idiot..praising God automatic no no in the NFL, but putting “Cops are pigs” on socks is A OK
Now at least 7 team owners have made public statements against President Trump and in support of Goodell’s position:

Of course, there are still around 25 team owners not yet heard from. Some of them must be scrambling to try to thread a needle of not offending anyone, but they are going to have to take a stand.
For me, it’s like when M Vick got caught fighting dogs.
Hmm. Let’s see. What happened to him?
49er CEO blasts Trump?!?! This is how his team is drawing after offering $15 seats. This guy is a marketing genius.
10D chess by now
Apparently he doesn't understand that the ticket paying fans in the stands and those watching on TV have the same right to leave and not come back.
Trump is telling Goodall he should be backing the fans and not a few disruptive rebel-rousers. He's telling him he should be supporting respect for the flag and national anthem of our country and not some showboating player protesters.
In the end, Goodall will rue the day he decided to push back at Trump and the NFL fan base and instead backed a few disgruntled players.
This is wonderful. A purge will take place and also a reset. The anti-Americans’ masks are being forced off their Marxist heads.
Damn. Was really looking forward to the Raiders vs. Redskins tomorrow. I don’t like the whole idea of boycotts but I’ve had enough of these pricks. Wife will be happy. More episodes of “Rake” tomorrow night it seems.
I don’t agree with that.
Make a list of all the commercials Time to hit them in the pocketbook. Avoid and complain to the -$$$$$.
Goodell could have stopped this day one. He could have told the 49ers that kaperdick’s political statements and all political statement would not be allowed on the field. That would have been the end of the story. Now Goodell and the league will eventually be ruined by his short sighted PC stance. What an idiot!
Wonder how much thought a forehand Trump put into his speech
The line in the sand has been drawn
And it seems like the owners are giving in to the players
Actually I was wondering if Goodell was going to make exactly that change. If he wants to slit his own throat then that would certainly be one of the biggest steps in that direction.

The NFL wants to die a quick death I see..fine let that happen..here in LA they wanted a football team SO badly..they got it..and half the stadium was EMPTY
I just got an alert that some piece of trash catcher for the Oakland As named Bruce Maxwell just became the first MLB player to take a knee. So it begins.
Out of curiosity what’s going on that you feel Monday will be so bad? I feel like I missed something ... or are you referring to those in the market related to NFL business?
