Text of statement:
The NFL family is greatly saddened by the tragic events across our country. The protesters' reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger and frustration that so many of us feel.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Mr. George Floyd and to those who have lost loved ones, including the families of Ms. Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Mr. Ahmaud Arbery, the cousin of Tracy Walker of the Detroit Lions.
As current events dramatically underscore, there remains much more to do as a country and as a league. These tragedies inform the NFL's commitment and our ongoing efforts. There remains an urgent need for action. We recognize the power of our platform in communities and as part of the fabric of American society. We embrace that responsibility and are committed to continuing the important work to address these systemic issues together with our players, clubs and partners.
- NFL Commissioner Robert Goodell
More reason to never watch another NFL game.
Goodell Is a leftist cunt. I remember he threatened Texas with a boycott when they were going to try to pass a keep the creeps out of the girls bathroom and showers law.
GTH, Robert!
There are looters, and there are rioters. In comparison, the rioters are far more destructive and violent — the primarily White, Millennial ANTIFA thugs.
I can also proudly say that I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. The last time I watched it was three years ago.
I don’t miss the NFL at all. When this racist virtue signaling started, I threw out my Packers gear and haven’t looked back.
College Football is much more exciting,
There is still enough irritating language indicating our country is somehow evil and we are mean to the coloreds, and we also presumably feel angry and frustrated about alleged senseless brutality against helpless innocent coloreds.
Bart Starr was MVP. What a name for a star QB.
Built by Bama!
The last full Super Bowl I saw was Cincinnati-San Francisco part 2. What was that,nearly 90s?
...early
Ha, ha, nice comment.
There never are enough chips in the bag... especially when one is dieting.
The way NFL players behave, I’d be surprised if the league isn’t privately for it, or at least accepting of it.
Who cares what hypocritical blather the son of Charles Goodell utters?
My tagline!
He should rename himself, Robert Goodbye. So concerned yet says nothing about the victims of these looting, rioting, destructive mobs.
That was a very long time ago; Close to the time when I graduated High School in ‘89.
I would say your guess is probably about right.
Do I miss NFL football? F NO!
Goodell is more of a coward than his useless Senator father and Soviet dupe.
Once the NFL let Comrade Che Kaepernick get away with his “hate America” crap, it was all over the football.
We need a John Madden to run the NFL, not chickenshit Goodell of the “Yellow Flag of Cowards” league.
hey roger, did you see the video of the skinny white kid getting beaten to death by your "protestors"....
We haven't watched it for years. Of course, Mrs. Chandler is a Cardinals fan, so there's really no point in watching any of the post season games.
