Trump delivers unhinged rant on NFL calls Colin Kaepernick a âson of a bitchâ â ThinkProgress
During a 90-minute speech in Alabama  purportedly to support Senator Luther Strange who faces a special primary election next Tuesday   Trump  diverted into an extended rant on the NFL.
âWouldnât you love to see one of these NFL owners  when somebody disrespects our flag  to say  âget that son of a bitch off the field right now. He is fired. Heâs fired! 'â  Trump  shouted to a cheering audience.
 Trump  has taken credit for Kaepernickâs inability to find work. âIt was reported that NFL owners donât want to pick him up because they donât want to get a nasty tweet from  Donald Trump  â  Trump  told a cheering crowd in Kentucky this July. âDo you believe that? I just saw that. I just saw that.â
In Alabama on Friday   Trump  suggested that any fan who sees a player take a knee during an NFL game should âleave the stadiumâ¦pick up and leave.â He said that people wouldnât be missing much anyway since the league has made modest efforts aimed at avoiding debilitating brain injuries. âThey are ruining the game â  Trump  said.
During the campaign   Trump  said that Kaepernick âshould find a country that works better for him.â
Kaepernick has called  Trump  âopenly racist.â
Last week  the White House called on ESPN to fire SportsCenter anchor Jemele Hill after  she  tweeted that  Trump  was a white supremacist.
UPDATE: Some NFL players are responding to  Trump  on social media.
