NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday that he hopes former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will help "guide" the league on issues pertaining to social justice.
The commissioner also said during the interview with ESPN's Mike Greenberg that he would "support" and "encourage" a team signing the controversial signal caller to its roster.
Kaepernick has not played in the league since 2016 when he was released by the 49ers following the season after losing his starting job to Blaine Gabbert. During that same season, he ignited controversy by kneeling during the national anthem at the start of games to protest racial injustice and police brutality in the United States.
"Well, listen, if he wants to resume his career in the NFL, then obviously it's going to take a team to make that decision," Goodell said. "But I welcome that, support a club making that decision and encourage them to do that.

haha what a sissy
Despicable coward.
Not content with losing money last year due to the kneelers, he’s going for a Dungeon Master “total party wipe”.
Goodell is a puke!
Roger Goodell should hire him for his estate instead of asking others to hire the troublemaker. Maybe Rog needs a gardener or groundskeeper.
Everybody knows you never go full retard, Roger.
Did Pimpleneck loan Roger some kneepads?
I am a huge FB fan. My entire family is. That said, we will not be going to or watching any sport which joins in with ANTIFA/BLM. Period.
Most disappointing and dismaying is the NASCAR suits caving in to the Woke Leftists. So far, the only major sport not reported to caving in to Wokeness is the NHL.
I might just have to give that sport a look.
Football is done I hope, America is more important.
Get woke go broke. This will not end well.
Dump Goodell and make Krapnick the nfl commissar.
That’ll fix it.
OK then, how about Deputy NFL Commissioner Kapernick, with the office next to Goodell’s, at the League’s Park Avenue Head Quarters? Give Kapernick some real authority, and have him in the room with Goodell, providing guidance, whenever anything important occurs. That is, unless Goodell is just running a line of bull in an attempt to buy labor peace.
well...the NHL just celebrated its LGBTQ inclusive day yesterday...so
Roger should give Kaep a management job at NFL HQ, perhaps in public relations.
The fox guards the hen house - way to go Goodell!
Hockey is great. It takes a little to get used to the rules, but it is very physical and fast paced. I have timed out of NASCAR, hopefully the nhl Won’t feel the need to insult their fans.
They’re setting Krapperdink up for a league job. Some titles;
Director of Stupid Stuff, Annoying Jerk Department Administrator, Whinny B___ Supervisor, or Manager of All Things Karen.
Go woke, go broke.
Timed should be tuned. Stupid phone.
