(CNN) President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick should get another chance in the National Football League -- "if he has the playing ability." Trump has long opposed athletes kneeling during the National Anthem and even referred to them as "sons of bitches" in a 2017 speech. His comments come after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told ESPN Monday that he would support and encourage a team interested in signing Kaepernick. Kaepernick hasn't played in the league since the 2016 season -- the same season he first sat during the playing of the National Anthem. He later accused NFL team owners of colluding to keep him from being signed.
