However, players “should” stand for the anthem, according to the league’s game operation manual.

“Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem,” Goodell wrote. “It is an important moment in our game,” Goodell wrote. “We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us. We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.”




Link to me predicting the sullying of the NFL's reputation and calling for Goodell to take action. People thought the NFL was invincible

first, he and a few other owners get everyone on board that they need to show unity with the players against the president and issue statements of support for the players who kneel.

so then that backfires and he says "hey maybe we should stand"

yeah, no shite roger.

Every time this starts to die down and go away, some rich a-hole opens his mouth and pours gasoline on the fire.

Donald J Trump and pussy are the only two things in this world that are still undefeated.

Jerry Jones forced Goodell's hand in those contract negotiations.

Honest conversations about WHAT?! Why won't someone ever tell us what we're supposed to be learning from the kneeling??

• I don't think that from Goodell's or the NFL's perspective the bold is true. His handling of this controversy isn't consistent with this statement. Shocker as he has been pro player and anti-Trump in his defiance.

• The underlined portion is the only truth in the whole paragraph. He is almost begging in bowing before at least 1/2 of the NFL's fan base as well as Trump.
