Players across the NFL protested and showed demonstrations of unity during the playing of the national anthem Sunday following remarks made over the weekend by President Donald Trump that team owners should fire players who fail to stand for the national anthem prior to games.
The player responses drew support from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who told The MMQB's Peter King he was "proud" of Sunday's actions.
"The way we reacted today, and this weekend, made me proud," Goodell said. "I'm proud of our league."
"I spent a lot of time listening to our players and coaches and owners over the past two days," Goodell said Sunday afternoon. "They really care about our league. I just think we need more understanding. I was trying to find out with the players and coaches, 'How are you feeling? What's going on in your locker rooms?' They were trying to figure out ways to respond."
Goodell told King he was not surprised by Sunday's demonstrations. "They reflected the frustration, the disappointment, of the players over the divisive rhetoric we heard [from Trump]."

NFL = no fans left
Then pony-up, Roger.
Donate all of this year’s tv revenues to the NAACP.
Money talks, bullshit kneels.
They definitely have their talking points in sync with the media:
- Trump started it (not capernic)
- What Trump said was divisive (not the NFL dopes’ actions)
- We are the true heroes here (not the vets)
Do you have a ready link for that? Would be great to pass along. Thanks!!
What this limp-wristed, PC-perverted, libtard dumbass has done to the game of football is a crime... stupid on a biblical scale.
A good start would be to get rid of Goodell.
Listen Republican states, cut off these jackasses funding to the stadium stop subsidizing them.
Thanks to the FReeper who posted this before.
according to fox, former clinton spokesperson joe Lockhart is now the designated NFL spokesperson and fox said that this signals a hard line from NFL to the WH. To me it indicates a prior defacto capitulation of the NFL to liberal politics. That seems inappropriate and it seems justified that NFL be perceived, now, as just another (liberal) political entity.
I am on travel now but when i get back i will renew my earlier investigation into unsubscribing from liberal entities as part of my cable tv subscription, even if i have to pay a penalty for early cancellation (a while ago i signed onto a multi-year agreement). (If they get their money from my cancellation then it might be a wash.)
