Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday that the National Football League is having "unprecedented conversations" after owners and players met amid ongoing protests during the national anthem.
"We just had two days of conversation with our
owners. Our clubs all see this the same way. We all want our players to
stand," Goodell said at a news conference, adding that he understood
why some people were upset that some players weren't standing for the
anthem.
But he said the league wouldn't force players to stand during the
national anthem — instead, he said, the league and the owners continue
to listen to the athletes and discuss the issues they are concerned
about.
