NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a video statement addressing the ongoing issue of racism and admitted that the league was “wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier.”

Though he admitted the NFL’s fault, he didn’t mention Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers player who has been unemployed since kneeling in protest of police brutality and racism while the National Anthem was played during the games.

We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people.

We, the National Footabll League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.

Without black players, there would be no National Football League and the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality and oppression of black players, coaches, fans and staff.”
