President Trump questions NFL, Roger Goodell after commissioner's 'Black Lives Matter' statement
President Donald Trump has volleyed his inevitable response to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a statement pronouncing Black Lives Matter and admitting the league was “wrong” in its handling of player protests.
Could it be even remotely possible that in Roger Goodell’s rather interesting statement of peace and reconciliation, he was intimating that it would now be O.K. for the players to KNEEL, or not to stand, for the National Anthem, thereby disrespecting our Country & our Flag? Drew Brees’ comment sparked discourse over protestsTrump poked at the NFL last week as well, specifically in the direction of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees after his apology for calling protests during the anthem as disrespectful toward the American flag.
Goodell’s admission that the NFL failed to listen to players like Colin Kaepernick was a direct response to a video posted by large group of NFL stars calling out the league’s failure to grapple with social issues. Just a day after the stars posted the video, Goodell was in his basement reading off each statement they demanded to hear.
