NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is apologizing yet again to Colin Kaepernick. He said he should have listened to [Marxist] Colin Kaepernick as he knelt [disrespectfully] during the anthem four years ago.
During an interview with ex-NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho of Fox Sports posted Sunday, Goodell said he wished โwe had listened earlierโ to the message of the former 49ers quarterback.
The message was police are brutal, racism is systemic, and heโs oppressed โ all minority Americans are oppressed.
Goodell repeated an apology he made in June for equating players kneeling to them disrespecting the flag, rather than an indictment on racial inequality and police brutality as Kaepernick [who wears cops as pigs socks and t-shirts with Cuba’s Castro on it] intended.
โI wish we had listened earlier, Kaep, to what you were kneeling about and what you were trying to bring attention to,โ Goodell said on Achoโs show โUncomfortable Conversations with a Black Manโ when asked what heโd say to Kaepernick.
If he wasnโt disrespecting the flag, he would have knelt at some other time. Kaepernick runs around with other Marxists like Linda Sarsour.
The commissioner said he and the league should have had a conversation with Kaepernick long ago.
โWe had invited him in several times to have the conversation, to have the dialogue,โ Goodell said. โI wish we had the benefit of that. We never did. And we wouldโve benefited from that, absolutely.โ
Goodell said Kaepernick and those who followed him in protest, including then 49ers teammate Eric Reid, shouldnโt have been vilified as un-American.
โThese are not people who are unpatriotic. Theyโre not disloyal. Theyโre not against our military,โ said Goodell. โIn fact, many of those guys were in the military, and theyโre a military family. And what they were trying to do is exercise their right to bring attention to something that needs to get fixed. And that misrepresentation of who they were and what they were doing was the thing that really gnawed at me.โ
Goodell wants a team in the league to give Kaepernick a chance but no suckers have turned up.
Kaepernick had an opportunity to practice in front of several teams but he decided to change the location at the last minute. His arrogance alone cost him the opportunity.
If youโll remember, the teams demanded the league donate tens of thousands of dollars to far-left organizations to compensate for their politically incorrect behavior and they did. That is what this is all about.
Kaepernick politicized football and demeaned the anthem.
