In a weekend interview, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell exclaimed that he believes that anthem protests are “not about the flag†and wishes he had “listed†to Colin Kaepernick earlier.
Goodell issued his lamentations on FS1 host Emmanuel Acho’s YouTube series, “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,†on Sunday.
Acho brought up Goodell’s admission in June that the league badly handled the national anthem protests starting in 2016 when Kaepernick first began his protests.
In June, Goodell said it was “wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.â€
But Acho pointed out that Goodell did not specifically mention Kaepernick in that June “apology,†and he wondered if the commissioner had anything to add to that apology now.
