NFL commissioner Roger Goodell encouraged players to speak their minds on social issues Sunday in the wake of Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand for the national anthem. While Goodell said he has not reached out to the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, the commissioner has praised the shift of players' activism from 'protests to progress.'

Goodell is a weakling.
Didn’t watch a game this weekend. If, while channel surfing I happened to rest on one the football channels, changed it quickly.
Goodell is the most wretched commisioner. Ever.
What’s that old saying, “Better to keep your mouth shut..”
Vagina ball.
I have some words on this situation:
“BOYCOTT THE NFL” ... take away their money and they will come crawling back...I love the Broncos, Steelers and Packers, but I did not watch today or last week and will not watch any this year!!!
Don’t watch the NFL. Starve this beast and tell the sponsors.
Don’t watch the NFL. Starve this beast and tell the sponsors.
Soccer players stand for national anthems in respect, Mr. Goodell.
Sick bastards everywhere in our society. Now I can’t watch football without protesting America? I think they will destroy the NFL.
Not watching and feel great. Roger Badhell stinks!
As long as they don’t speak out against the NFL. Right Roger?
The sun will still rise on Mondays if there is NO NFL.
Im holding my nose.
Hey Goodell, If you think it’s acceptable to disrespect the “National” Anthem, then you should just change the name of the “National” football league. I’m sure we can come up with some suggestions for the new name of your football league. Oh, and while we’re on the subject, please stop calling it American football you un-American POS.
And it’s not helping—will NFL TV ratings be down 8 to 14 percent during Week 2 compared to last season like it was during Week 1?
No NFL at my house this weekend. I’m not a fan, but everyone else here is. Nobody watched.
Just like the NBA, the NFL has become unwatchable.
That is what I did today.
I don’t have the time to pay someone to disrespect me and my values.
Play sports or play politics, your choice and my money or not.
So how are the ratings and regular price sales coming along?
Are the advertisers complaining about getting a bad deal?
TWB
They can go where ever they please, I won’t be watching them.
