Jordan’s tweet was in response to several statements Trump made on Twitter about how players who protest during the national anthem “wanted to show their ‘outrage’ at something that most of them are unable to define.”

“The NFL players are at it again — taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem,” Trump tweeted on Friday, a day after several players kneeled or otherwise protested during the national anthem before preseason games.

"Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest," he said in a subsequent tweet. "Most of that money goes to the players anyway."

(Under a labor agreement, players' share of league revenue for this season is 48.5 percent.)

"Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!" Trump added.

Trump’s renewed attacks on NFL players came days before the anniversary of last summer's violent Unite the Rally in Charlottesville, Va., where white supremacists clashed with counterprotesters demonstrating against racism. At the rally, a 32-year-old woman was killed when a car was driven into a crowd of counterprotesters, allegedly by a man attending the white supremacist rally.

Trump prompted a wave of backlash when he stopped short of condemning white supremacists for the deadly rally, saying at the time that there was “blame on both sides.”
