He should be more concerned with the decline of his game.

Goodell and the owners were doing everything in their power to ignore this entire thing and watch it eventually go away (quietly black balling Colin). All they wanna do is make money and stay out of it.

Trump made that impossible and forced their hand, of course they're going to defend their players.

No, it’s not. It’s peaceful protesting.

I was wondering the same thing. How was his statement divisive? It wasn't divisive at all.

Divisive is just the hot buzzword of the left now. They will apply it to anything and everything Trump says.

That's how retarded people think.
Trying to be an appeaser,it's always a losing proposition.

The problems in this country aren't racial,they are cultural. My Black neighbors are pretty much just like me in everything,but they probably vote DEM, I have no way of knowing for sure.

Maybe they want to follow the lead of the big cities? The problem is,they never go there to see the truth.
If they saw, they might change their minds?

Goodell is an idiot, he has issues at the reaction rather than the action that caused all of this.

He's clearing walking into a losing scenario.

Has his contract been renewed yet? Last I heard they still had no new contract as they were working on details.

Trump said players who kneel should be fired.

He did not say all NFL players are bad.

NFL says "most" NFL players do good work.

Didn't they both say the same thing.

Of course Goodell doesn't want Trump to play the patriot card. He's trying to increase revenue in England, Mexico, Canada, etc

America is just a piggybank to these multi-national companies

Goodell may be the single worst commissioner of any major professional sport, EVER.

And with Bud Selig, David Stern and Bowie Kuhn to compete with, that's saying a lot.

I hate blm and am 99.9% pro-cop, I think the anthem kneeling is retarded, but trump screwed up with this round of tweets and rhetoric.

The nfl and nba/warriors stuff is so petty.

Seems Jerry Jones is the only one that knows that Gooddell is bad for their brand.

Trump is the leader of the most powerful country in the world. It's not his damn job to "protest".

So yes, he's being divisive.

Kneeling during the anthem is a statement that we need to work harder so that America is a safe and welcoming place for everyone. It is an affirmation of the American ideal. Trump is trying to make it us versus them along racial lines. Yes, Trump is the problem.
