The owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars said that President Trump's attacks on the NFL are because he's 'jealous' of the league.

Shahid Khan said that Trump failed to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014 and has now made it his personal mission as the president to 'soil a league or brand that he is jealous of,' in an interview with USA Today.

'This is a very personal issue with him,' Khan claimed.

'He's been elected President, where maybe a great goal he had in life to own an NFL team is not very likely. So to make it tougher, or hurt the league, it's very calculated.'

Khan suggested that Trump does not actually care about the anthem protests he so frequently speaks and tweets about.

The protests began in 2016 with Colin Kaepernick, who first took a knee during the anthem to protest police brutality and racism

President Trump has gone so far as to call NFL players who take a knee 'sons of b****es' and say that they are un-American.

The protests began in 2016 with Colin Kaepernick, who first took a knee during the anthem to protest police brutality and racism.

But now, Khan has said that Trump's real problem with the NFL comes from his failed bid to buy a team years ago.

He also said that the protests pale in comparison to the 'offensive behavior' coming from his administration.

'Let's get real,' Khan said to USA today.

'The attacks on Muslims, the attacks on minorities, the attacks on Jews. I think the NFL does not even come close to that on the level of being offensive.

'Here, it's about money, or messing with - trying to soil a league or a brand that he's jealous of.'

He also mentioned the irony of Trump accusing the NFL for being unpatriotic when he has been accused of disrespecting the family of a fallen soldier.

Though he donated $1million to Trump's inaugural fund, Khan said he has a problem with how the president handles certain social issues, specifically slamming his travel ban when speaking to USA today on Wednesday

Khan is a Pakistani-born businessman and self-made billionaire.

And though he donated $1million to Trump's inaugural fund, he said he has a problem with how the president handles certain social issues, specifically slamming his travel ban when speaking to USA today on Wednesday.

'That's one aspect that you can imagine - someone is getting a visa that will change their life is from a Muslim-majority country - and now, boom, that dream to change lives, they get locked out,' he said.

'That's a hell of a lot more significant than fighting some sponsors or people who want their money back because they've been riled up.'

Khan said he doesn't regret donating to the President as he was intrigued by many of his proposed economic policies, but that this 'toxic side,' of Trump 'sours the whole experience.'
