Roger Goodell expresses support for NFL players protesting police shootings
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed support Tuesday for players and others within the league who joined the movement across professional sports to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wis.
“The NFL stands with the Black community, the players, clubs and fans,” Goodell said in a conference call with reporters after NFL team owners met by video conference. “Confronting systemic racism with tangible and productive steps is absolutely essential. We will not relent in our work. We will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need. I’m so proud of everyone across our league and others who have taken a stand using their voices and platforms to continue to shine a spotlight on things that must change.”
Goodell’s comments were accompanied by Troy Vincent, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, saying that players have the right to sit out games in protest if they choose to do so.
“They all have a choice, an individual choice and right to either sit out or protest, however one would characterize it,” Vincent said.
