"We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People," Goodell continued.
"We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.""I personally protest with you and want to be a part of the much needed change in this country." "Without black players there would be no National Football League. And the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff."
"We are listening and I will be reaching out to players who have raised their voices, and others on how we can move forward together for a better and more united NFL family."during the national anthem in 2016 to put a spotlight on police brutality and racial injustice in America. He parted ways with the SF 49ers after that season -- but hasn't had a legit opportunity with another NFL team since then.
Fuck out of here
What makes it so wrong now? The players are standing up to you! Your fear is a BLACKOUT!
AllLivesMatters
Resign then
I think Kaepernick7 deserves some apology and maybe offer him a job at the round table. He envisaged it first 🤷🏻♂️.
Bend over Goodell! You have no original thoughts of your own. You see the backlash that Brees took and decide now to make a public announcement. You are a POS. nflcommish. To satisfy everyone’s beliefs allow kneeling but do play the country’s anthem and no flags
rogergoodell Kaepernick life matters you must apologize and acknowledge kaepernick take President Trump racist triump away we all know his racist mentality inspired you therefore you must apologize to Kaepernick which is an apology to all Black Lives
👀S_C_
Jayz HAS SAID NOTHING, SILENCE, CRICKETS. Snake
We don’t CARE
So does this mean teams will stop blacklisting Colin Kaepernick?
They just don’t wanna lose “fans”
Good, now resign!
Stop listening to Trump.
🙄😒
We need to stop playing the anthem and presenting the colors at games. No point in letting it get disrespected in some people’s eyes. Not everyone may feel like kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful but some do and if it can’t be respected then we can’t subject it to that.
And he caved... hate this man
now that White supremacy is falling he says that
Ok
Kneeling has always been a sign of respect, and as you kneel in church think about this! We are asking for everyone participating in Sports to take a knee together, to show support for the Black Community & out of Respect for our Constitution & the American Flag! THIS IS RESPECT!
And we are wrong in watching football anymore!!!
After 4yrs of Black balling Kap it’s now you know you are wrong,this is just lip service that’s all it is,it will only work if the players make that change and work as a unit.
He never said anything about Kaepernick7
NFL cowers to mob rule is basically what is happening. Nothing has changed regards the principals of not wanting protests during a sports event anthem. Nobody ever said there were not things that deserved protesting.
No more Sports do to kneeling again! Make it end. Replace these players with Ppl who respect our Flag. Please!
He’s not sincere! He’s a clown!
oh good god. no. maKe it stop.
Yes boycott until Kap is back
Cool story, about 3 years too late, So at what point do you offer Kaepernick7 a corporate job within the NFL, maybe create an awareness department, you guys still seem to be lacking in that department. 👀👀
I can't wait to never watch the NFL again
Roger goodell just lost his viewership! Fuck the nfl!
i bet he needs this song!
Does that mean Kaepernick will finally get a job in the NFL?
But refuses to mention Colin Kaepernick. More hypocrisy.
Yes, Goodell, because you chose to listen to that Bigot trump.
They just wanted money. They don’t care about black lives. If they did, they would have backed Colin when he did what he did.
Lonnng overdue !
What about 250 thousand donation? stoolpresidente
Wuss...
NFL I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER NFL GAME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHREDDING ALL MY JERSEYS WILL POST SOON. This Pandering to leftist extremists, DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You disrespect the flag by kneeling PERIOD!
Joke!
“We Were Wrong”....... Yeah, no shit dickheads.
If the NFL ADMITS TO BEING WRONG, GIVE COLON HIS JOB BACK OR OFFER HIM A POSITION IN NFL ADMINISTRATION COMPARABLE TO HIS PAY PLUS INTEREST AND PROBABLE ENDORSEMENTS! Otherwise it’s just BS. Do something! Not just talk! PUT UP OR SHUT UP 🤐!
That’s what happens when you cave yo pressure from Trump. History will judge Goodell and the NFL harshly. Give Kaepernick7 his job back!
Pandering, so much pandering
It’s was wrong to ALLOW Colin to be on a team. Will never watch NFL again
🤦♀️
Oh god spare us
PeteK9515
They twisted and made about the flag
IstandWithKap Kaepernick7
And Kaep will still never take another snap.
So then the lawsuit he filed against you. You going to compensate him now? He should have been playing so he should get paid.
I never thought this day would come
So silly, guess they can read sports stats but not crime stats.
I bet you clowns wouldn't dare tell 1 of the 5+ million families of a fallen soldier that it's not a big deal that we kneel during the national anthem. That their loved ones really wouldn't care we disrespect their death and honor.
So glad I don’t watch sports! Athletes are useless like actors and actresses.
But Jerry Jones says Bullshit, I m never wrong.
Better late than never
How y’all didn’t know it then tho😭? Nigga police brutality ain’t just start
I canceled y'all years ago...
Ya think?
Do you all see the comments on this post with guess who has a issue with what Roger said! Fuckin hilarious!! If u don't like it go watch another sport that isn't dominant by BLK players & then you won't have to worry about your racist issues not being acknowledged!
progress BlackLivesMattertoronto
Horrible Commissioner
I find it amusing that people are upset by the kneeling but not by the fact that the sacred song isn't sang in its entirety. I don't stand for it, havent since high school. Why don't yall cry about them singing the first verse only? It's our great nation's song, sing all of it
How can you y it alright to disrespect the flag of the USA? You’re sick.
Sorry ass owners, worthless commissioner, and the nfl in whole! Bums go Kaepernick
Fuck the NFL
JacquezGreen Jerry Jones is destroying everything in Jerrys world.
You were also wrong to Blackball Kaepernick!!
sammynick Translation, we want to be on whatever side of the argument that will benefit us! We really don't stand, or kneel, for anything!
Long damn overdue! He can save his rhetoric for I don't want to read or hear it. He ruined our Kappa brother Mr. Colin Kaepernick's football career!
RogerGoodell symbolizes every Trumpist paying lip service to Black Lives Matter today. He's not sorry. He's not a man of conscience. He's an opportunist. And he hopes his little show helps you give the NFL more of your money. F*ck Roger Goodell.
Y'all been knew that... Don't backpedal now
NFL ,so are y'all going to apologize to Kaepernick7 or nah?
Lol. Can’t wait for them to lose more money when they allow it again.
We need to stop playing the anthem and presenting the colors at games. No point in letting it get disrespected in some people’s eyes. Not everyone may feel like kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful but some do and if it can’t be respected then we can’t subject it to that.
“Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Everyone who follows or followed will go through this process at one point or another.
nfl NFL nflcommish
This year , burning cars outside stadium for tailgating.
You need to be replaced
Why give Kaepernick his job back, he stinks. If he was an elite quarterback, he would never be blackballed.
About time the NFL recognize it’s a problem
No. You can kneel AFTER the national anthem. Not during. You wanna do that kneeling shit do it after or before. Not during
AAAAAAAJAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just cancelled yourself HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Duh 🙄
About time - And now the Redskins need to get with the program and change their name
As the highly moral person we all know he is. We can be sure he won't flip his view in a second when the tide turns. VirtueSignaling NFLpl
No shit, Sherlock!
THE Only reason why he said something. is because people started saying they were GONNA NEIL .......... Roger we have a problem! you better get your ass out there and speak.
All of a sudden 🤦🏽♂️
Hes just bumping his Aquarius gums.......... Then hes gonna disappear and have a drink.
Wow!
Bend the knee, Roger
nfl nflcommish are no longer worth watching. no responsible employer allows for any reason - their employees to make political demonstrations on the job. He is a sellout. players have and I support their 1st amendment rights - but outside the workplace.
The pussification at the hands of the mob continues.
It’s too late for that shit.
Give that man his career back!
Is this because of Jay Z?
