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.

Then let Krapernick be league commissar.
GReat idea.
Goodell should give up his white privilege, to Colon, and let Colon take the reigns, as NFL Commish.
Could I hate him any more than before?......by golly I think I can. What a pandering coward!!
Far too many cowards in America.
We must rectify that...even if it means breaking it up.
Football is done I hope, America is more important.
I agree!

Right??
Or another position of real power in Goodell’s office.
Sold out, didn’t you asshole. FU and FUNFL
If you want Copper-Nickel to “guide” the league, why don’t you resign immediately and appoint him as your replacement? I figure he can’t do worse than you or Taglia-blewit did!
Not like I’ll be bothered watching any games this year...
Any team who’s stupid enough to sign him will have to play him lest they get called the only racist team around. Then when he fails the team will will take more focused heat from the permanently outraged crowd. It’s a lose/lose for any team.
you’re crazy if you watch them anymore
they are a joke
congratulations racebaiting libtard commies
you destroyed us football
America existed just fine before any of these sports, and will continue on with or without them.
No conservative can watch any of these sports. It has now become a moral imperative to avoid them. I know many FReepers tried to remain fans after the initial Kaepernick kerfluffle, but this is something far bigger.
If the NFL does play again, I don’t wanna see any fan threads here at FR.
The NFL should be done for anyone claiming to be a conservative
I would have been willing to give the NFL a chance this Fall. Fuhgeddaboudit.
They previously blamed low attendance on the fact that people were more comfortable watching games at home, in front of their large screen televisions. Ignoring the fans disgust at players taking a knee during the national anthem.
Now they’ll blame the pandemic for low attendance. Totally ignoring the fans disgust at players taking a knee during the national anthem.
Why not, the Democrats had Robert Byrd guide them on civil rights and Ted Kennedy guide them on women’s issues.
OMG! GET RID OF THIS ASSHOLE!
Our household is utterly done with NFL. Do not care to see another game for any reason.
