Despite Trump Tweets, NFL Players And Owners Pleased With Open Discussions

NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — For all those actually involved in the National Football League, the annual owners meeting was a encouraging step in the right direction.

Some not involved in any way, shape or form with the league may not agree.

NFL players and owners held an unusual meeting Tuesday to discuss social issues, a session both sides termed positive and productive.

What was not discussed at any length was the divisive topic of the national anthem that has caught the attention of President Donald Trump.

“We spent today talking about issues that the players are trying to bring attention to,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.
