President Trump showed an awkward sense of timing in denouncing Colin Kaepernick, the former Super Bowl quarterback who last season began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police injustice against minorities. He tweeted on Saturday.
His demand for Mr. Kaepernick's silence came two days after The New York Times reported on another form of silence that comes with the privilege of dedicating your life, breaking your body and soul, to be in the N.F.L.
Doctors, it said, had found a severe level of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., in Aaron Hernandez, the 27-year-old former New England Patriot who committed suicide in April while imprisoned on a murder sentence.
His brain showed the kind of damage usually seen in players in their 60s.
C.T.E.'s toll on players' health – a recent survey found C.T.E. in the brains of 110 of 111 former N.F.L. players examined — was of no concern to Mr. Trump. At a political rally in Alabama on Friday, the president complained about referees penalizing teams for excessive violence.
. Demonstrating with his fists colliding, he referred to a "beautiful tackle" that earned a 15-yard penalty. "They're ruining the game," he said.

Sports stars round on US president -Trump NFL row - news recevied - Duration: 2:34.
US President Donald Trump is facing growing condemnation from the sports world after his criticism of players.
On Friday, Mr Trump said the National Football League (NFL) should fire players who protest during the US anthem.
High-profile football players as well as basketball star LeBron James openly criticised Mr Trump in response.
One NFL team owner said Mr Trump's comments were "offensive" but Mr Trump has gone on to repeat his criticism.
At a rally on Friday night, Mr Trump said NFL players who protested during the playing of the national anthem should be fired by their team - referencing a controversial string of protests over race relations started by player Colin Kaepernick last year.
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now... he is fired," he told a cheering crowd.
On Saturday night, the Oakland Athletics' Bruce Maxwell became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel in protest during the national anthem, mimicking the gesture of protest started by Colin Kaepernick.
ed York, CEO of the San Francisco 49ers - Kaepernick's former team - said he would continue to support his players.
"The callous and offensive comments made by the President are contradictory to what this great country stands for," he said in a statement
There has been no comment from many teams, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson - a wealthy businessman and Trump campaign donor who was appointed as his ambassador to the UK.
Kaepernick's mother, Teresa, also joined in the backlash, referencing Trump's "son of a bitch" comment and tweeting: "Guess that makes me a proud bitch!"
On Saturday, Mr Trump withdrew an invitation to the White House to basketball champions the Golden State Warriors after one player, Stephen Curry, said he did not want to attend.
Curry - NBA's most valuable player in 2015 - said he wanted to show that he and other players did not stand for "the things that he's said and the things that he hasn't said in the right times"
"Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team," Mr Trump tweeted afterwards. "Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!
In response, triple NBA champion LeBron James, one of the sport's foremost stars, labelled the President a "bum".
"Going to White House was an honour until you showed up," he said. Retired star Kobe Bryant also tweeted his support.
The Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, said the team had clearly understood "that we are not invited" to the White House, but would visit Washington DC on its own "to celebrate equality, diversity, and inclusion".
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he was disappointed the team would not be visiting the White House, but was "proud" of the players for speaking out.
Donald Trump spoke for nearly an hour and a half at his rally in Alabama on Friday. The audience of 10,000 was enthusiastic, but one of his biggest applause lines - outside of swipes at North Korea and Hillary Clinton - was when the president took aim at any "son of a bitch" in the NFL who protests during the national anthem.
The crowd went wild - and the president kept going, lamenting recent rule changes, in response to evidence of devastating brain injuries to players, that seek to punish the most ferocious hits in the game.
On Saturday morning, like an accomplished comic returning to material that tested well at a local comedy club, the president took to Twitter to fire off line after line attacking the NFL - and athletes in any sport who may have taken issue with his earlier comments.
This is a fight Mr Trump relishes. He knows his base will flock to him when he questions the patriotism of wealthy athletes. Lines about tax cuts and healthcare reform on Friday night were duds. No one cared much when he spoke of striking deals with Democrats.
The president knows his audience. And he knows how to change the subject.

roger goodell response to trump [ trump nfl [ roger goodell on trump ] - Duration: 1:56.
NFL teams have issued a variety of statements over the last couple of days in response to comments from President Donald Trump and some of them have opted to throw their support behind the statement released by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Saturday.
Goodell called the President's comments "divisive" and said they show a "lack of respect" for the league and players.
The owners of the Titans, Chargers and Steelers all cited Goodell's statement when addressing the issue.
Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said "I completely agree with Commissioner Goodell" and that she is "proud to stand with our players and support them in their work on and off the football field."
Adams Strunk did not mention the President specifically, but added that she knows anyone making disparaging remarks about players "has to be the result of not knowing what they bring to our communities or what they have accomplished."
In addition to saying he "wholeheartedly" agrees with Goodell.

Donald Trump issues Brexit WARNING: UK must be free to sign trade deal by 2020 - Duration: 3:23.
Donald Trump issues Brexit WARNING: UK must be free to sign trade deal by 2020
The leader of the free world reacted "impatiently" last night to confirmation by that Britain will have a . The source said: "The President told me 'They've got it all to play for.
We can give them [the UK] the best deal but I've got to be around to do it'." Mrs May's deal will see Britain remain under EU control until 2021, two years after formally quitting the bloc. However, this will overlap with US elections in 2020 which Mr Trump has no guarantee of winning. .
Mr Trump was given a "full briefing" of the Prime Minister's speech in Florence, Italy, on Friday in which she officially made public the details of her proposal. "His reaction was impatience," said the source.
"His concern is the UK finds a way of being able to negotiate trade deals before the elections in 2020.
"A good deal with Britain isn't just about the special relationship that he respects so much, to him it's also about jobs.
"If the Democrats win, it's pretty clear they won't be as eager as the President to bind the countries closely together, or at least, not so quickly.
"They are likely to see Brussels as the place where all the action is, and Britain will be back to the back of queue.
" Earlier this year Democrats warned that Mr 's eagerness for a bilateral trade deal with Britain could damage US relations with Europe.
"US-UK ties are unique but they need not be exclusive," said Bill Keating, the lead Democrat on the foreign affairs committee.
"There is a danger in having a prioritised bilateral agreement and leaving the rest of Europe by the wayside including allies like Germany.
" US business was more positive about Friday's speech, with the US-UK Business Council, which represents three million business, praising the transition period for "avoiding a sudden and damaging shock to trade and investment flows".
But it warned: "With limited time remaining before the UK leaves the EU, the two sides must negotiate a high-standard trade and regulatory cooperation agreement that will minimise economic and social costs associated with the reset in UK-EU relations.
