New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins has criticized the NFL and Commissioner Goodell for failing to address the way the NFL handled Colin Kaepernick and his kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality.

“Until they apologize, specifically, to Colin Kaepernick, or assign him to a team, I don't think that they will end up on the right side of history."

In a video posted to NFL’s Twitter on Friday, Goodell said the league condemned racism and the systematic oppression of black people. He added that the league was “wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.” We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter.

Time for NFL to go away...Racism

Colin Kaepernick won a lawsuit against the NFL for, I believe it was a measly 4 million dollars. So basically half a year salary only! I think they owe him another 46 million and a Statue kneeling in front of Hall of Fame! NFLPA NFLPAFmrPlayers nflcommish talk is cheap commish

Apologize my ass! 95% of the NFL revenue stream supported by white Americans . Most that support our country! Want to go down this road Has nothing to do w race! Play ball and stand for the flag!!

HERE IS YOUR BREAKING NEWS' Have you heard, NO, I didn't thinks so... and you won't CNN MSNSBC ABC NBC CBS CONTINUES TO COVER UP THE DEMOCRATIC/SOCIALIST/ANTIFA TAKE OVER OF OUR AMERICAN STREETS.

I'm glad I quit watching last year

Because the nfl handled it like white supremacists do. abolishpoliceunions

I sure hope someone signs Kaepernick to a contract, he deserves to play again.

BOW DOWN OR ELSE !!!!!

Trump used the most powerful bully pulpit in perhaps the world to weaponize the NFL and its fans by creating the 'disrespecting our flag and troops' narrative. A racist will never publicly address racism, just change the subject.

ANTIFA has taken over Seattle They're occupying City Hall They created an 'autonomous zone' They drove out the police They're extorting local businesses And not a SINGLE Democrat or liberal media personality has condemned this behavior.

You don't honor the Flag that made it possible for you to make millions go play in another country.

Kudos to malcom Jenkins, a true patriot and voice for justice and obviously a smart guy. But if he was not as good as he is at football or hadn't played for laurie, a progressive owner, He'd have been cut like kapernick.

The NFL owes Kaepernick not only an apology but compensation for the glaring retaliation

News O’Clock: The NFL Said Players Can Protest — Four Years After Kaepernick“The NFL needs Black players, and I think the league needs to show that they are truly embracing not just the entertainment value that these players bring, but also their social concerns.” Wow how nice of them. I'm an advocate for ending all professional sports in the US. The athletes can work normal jobs like the rest of us since most many oppressed. I wouldn't want them to claim PTSD. Nice .. can’t wait till the first one wants to wear a costume , hold a sign, sing a song , do a dance .. this should be fun. Can’t wait for sports to come back
