NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had planned to attend various events this week with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill. At least two of the three sessions have been scrapped.
Via Scott Wong of The Hill, Tuesday’s meeting with Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives was canceled, due to a “last-minute scheduling conflict.” Goodell had been invited to “discuss qualities of leadership.” Per the report, a separate meeting with Republican chiefs of staff also was canceled.
It’s unclear whether Monday’s event with the Majority Whip Steve Scalise’s vote-counting team occurred as planned.
