NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he will not discipline players who kneel during the national anthem as a means of protesting police brutality and systemic racism.
Goodell joined Fox Sports' Emmanuel Acho for the latter's Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man video series. The host asked him if he will support those who peacefully protest by kneeling during the anthem (around 4:30), and Goodell said, "We have never disciplined a single player for anything with the national anthem ... and I don't intend to. And I will support them."
