New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins has criticized the NFL and Commissioner Goodell for failing to address the way the NFL handled Colin Kaepernick and his kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality.
“Until they apologize, specifically, to Colin Kaepernick, or assign him to a team, I don't think that they will end up on the right side of history."
In a video posted to NFL’s Twitter on Friday, Goodell said the league condemned racism and the systematic oppression of black people. He added that the league was “wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.” We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter.
