Written by SOURCE on January 31, 2019
Just because Colin Kaepernick is no longer in the league doesn’t mean that he’s out of sight and out of mind. So when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell held his highly anticipated Super Bowl press conference Wednesday, he was subjected to a handful of questions related to Kaepernick, including fans’ negative response to his treatment, and how the Kaep situation will be looked upon in the history books.
Goodell, to many, displayed some exceptional footwork when asked why no NFL team has signed Kaepernick. “Our clubs are the ones that make decisions on players that they wanna have on their roster,” he explained. “They make that individually. They make that in the best interests of their team. I think if a team decides that Colin Kaepernick or any other player can help their team win, that’s what they’ll do.”
Many people called out the commish and went on Twitter to let him know just that. Check out some reactions below.
