President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Friday to rip the National Football League yet again for continuing to allow players to kneel during the national anthem and accused commissioner Roger Goodell of having "lost control" of what he called a "hemorrhaging league."

Trump's comments was in response to a Breitbart news story shared by his social media chief, Dan Scavino, about New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon taking a knee during the anthem. 

On Wednesday, the president slammed the NFL, saying the protests were "killing" the league.
