His calling the NFL players SOB's was a good example of Trump sticking his foot up his own NOSE.
He does seem to be thin skinned and often finds himself in a petty back and forth with people that seems like it should be beneath the president of the USA to be involved in. However in this case I don't believe he was really responding to any criticism, but instead just chose to go there for some reason. Probably just to get a reaction from a crowd, or possibly from personal resentments towards the NFL from his past conflicts with them, who knows?

His tweet towards Stephen Curry after he said he wouldn't visit the White House with team would be a better example of your point.

Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!
It's just embarrassing for any grown man to act like that let alone the president. I would expect my children to act more mature of they were slighted by someone.
