Trump slams Roger Goodell for NFL’s reversal on national anthem protests - chairman - 06-08-2020
President Donald Trump does not seem to have taken kindly to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s remarks that the league was “wrong” for not listening to players who knelt during the national anthem.
Two days after Goodell’s video statement began making the rounds, Trump spoke out on Twitter, writing Sunday evening that he found the remarks “rather interesting.”
“Could it be even remotely possible that in Roger Goodell’s rather interesting statement of peace and reconciliation, he was intimating that it would now be O.K. for the players to KNEEL, or not to stand, for the National Anthem, thereby disrespecting our Country & our Flag?” the commander-in-chief tweeted.
