NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement Saturday evening regarding the tragic death of George Floyd.
"The NFL family is greatly saddened by the tragic events across our country," Goodell's statement reads. "The protesters' reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger and frustration that so many of us feel.
"Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Mr. George Floyd and to those who have lost loved ones, including the families of Ms. Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Mr. Ahmaud Arbery, the cousin of Tracy Walker of the Detroit Lions."
As protests break out nationwide, Goodell said "there remains much more to do as a country and league," to combat racial inequality.
