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.

“America grow some balls and show this white flag kneeling puke what you think, SHUT IT Off”
Sadly, even a lot of freepers won’t do that. You can be sure c19fan will be posting NFL threads.
Heroin addicts have more self control.
I think the same crap is going to happen in college football too. Think about it. These are the indoctrination centers.
May root for Pitts Steelers this year. At least one will not yield to pressure. The one who played for Army. I think he is still a Captain.
I was wrong to think about watching the NFL again starting this year.
You BOUGHT your Nike's? What kind of a fool are you? Real men just find a Footlocker and loot it.
Stop playing the anthem and let them kneel during introductions.
I will say this, as I say to all of my friends. If you watch a game or buy NFL merchandise, you are supporting this agenda. Too many conservatives are still watching the NFL because “it won’t really matter.” It does. They track viewers through cable, satellite, tivo, and more. They know when a reliable viewer stops watching.
Did Roger happen to mention the need to lay off 70% of NFL Films and NFL Network employees due to financial problems at the league?
do you mean the guys that walk around wearing shirts with other men's names on them?

They just renewed his contract. The owners are the root cause. They own the league.
Maybe not but the owners have cast their lot with him and the NFL thugs. So I guess if we (as a whole) continue to patronize the events (attend live or watch on TV) we are also casting our lot with them. It looks like Brees sold his integrity for a fat NBC contract, it doesn't make him bad just weak.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have yet to sign their quarterback. The vision of half-filled stadiums must now be a nightmare. Will Jerry Jones pay $35 million/annum in a league intent on its own suicide? I wonder.
$35 million for a good, not great quarterback. Crazy times.
Goodell is a fool.
Goodell just pronounced the death of the NFL. Count me out!!
Welcome back to the NFL, commissioner Kapernick!
He has a long term iron clad employment contract with a healthy life insurance policy. Can't be done.
Haven’t watched a single professional game of any sort since the Kapperdick fiasco. And, I haven’t missed it one bit.
