Amid protests and riots sweeping the nation following the tragic death of George Floyd, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued an apology heard ’round the sports world, and while he didn’t specifically name quarterback-turned-social justice activist Colin Kaepernick, Goodell would soon make quite clear that his message was partly directed to him, openly welcoming Kaepernick to work in some capacity with the league. New reports say that “multiple teams” now have a “legitimate interest” in giving Kaepernick yet another opportunity to make it back on the field.
“We, the National Football League admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier, and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest,” Goodell said in a video statement posted June 5. “We, the National Football League believe black lives matter.”
