NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he supports the idea of teams signing Colin Kaepernick.

Stephen A. Smith has since responded to Goodell and said he’s placing his efforts in the wrong places when tackling social justice issues.

Goodell spoke about Kaepernick during a conversation on ESPN’s “The Return of Sports” on Monday, June 15, and said he’s behind the idea of him playing in the NFL again.

The sports analyst then talked about Goodell and Jay-Z organizing an NFL tryout for Kaepernick in 2019 to give an example of the commissioner trying to help.

Smith was one of the people who was critical of Kaepernick after he turned down the NFL tryout last year.
