NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has admitted that they were wrong in the way they handled Colin Kaepernick's protest against police brutality of black people, which ultimately led to the quarterback to be without a club.

The NFL has been locked in an ongoing debate with players over kneeling protests during the national anthem before the start of games, a practice popularised by quarterback Kaepernick in 2016 to protest racial injustice and police brutality.

Kaepernick filed a grievance against the league in 2017, claiming collusion as no teams signed him after he parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers. The NFL and Kaepernick settled in 2019.

Roger,
You and your NFL cronies are primarily guilty of not listening to your fans who have made you and them fabulously rich. Instead you have chosen to ram your vile left wing worldview down their throats. On top of that, you constantly insinuate that you despise your fans (not their money) and like Hillary consider them to be “Deplorables”.

That dishonorable son of a bitch (Kaepernick) should have been fired the very moment he kneeled!

WE STAND FOR THE FLAG AND KNEEL FOR THE CROSS!

Roger Goodell is a grossly overpaid fool who supports calling police pigs. End of story. The police should refrain from protecting him.

Goodell has an odd way of saying the NFL no longer exists. It’s morphed into cuck-filled virtue signalling bunch pantie-waste morons.

May the chains of your servitude weigh lightly on your shoulders slaves.

The only thing I wonder about is when the owners will band together and fire this ass hat.

Guess they won’t have to worry about social distancing in NFL stadiums this year.

Translation: Our fans who were upset about the disrespect towards our National Anthem and the US Flag were wrong.

Roger Goodell is scared to death, he is very afraid that if he doesn’t do exactly what his black masters want, he won’t have a job.

The kneeling will kill the league . By the time football starts the nation and football fans will have jogger fatigue.

Goodell is such a stupid prick. I will be once again joining the millions of fans who tune out the NFL this season. Roger, the fans brought you to your knees a few years ago and forced you to end the anthem BS, and we’ll do it again. Don’t believe me? Just watch.
