Why pick a fight with the NFL (calling for a boycott of the NFL)?

Because there's no wall and he's trying to convince his base a transparent, invisible, make believe wall is all he promised anyway.

Obamacare is law.

He's turned into Amnesty Don.

He doesn't know what to do about NK and Iran and the investigations are continuing.

It's is a distraction pure and simple. He's failed on all his big promises .... but if he starts a pointless fight with the NFL which can't be won, his base will be satisfied. This is a red meat dog whistle to them. They love to rage at someone. His base cares more about meaningless crap anyway.

This kind of thing isn't going to stop ... there will be other distractions to appease his base.

Civil unrest will not be a problem for the Trump presidency. It will be a resource. Trump will likely want not to repress it, but to publicize it—and the conservative entertainment-outrage complex will eagerly assist him. Immigration protesters marching with Mexican flags; Black Lives Matter demonstrators bearing antipolice slogans—these are the images of the opposition that Trump will wish his supporters to see. The more offensively the protesters behave, the more pleased Trump will be.
