Roger Goodell finally admitting the NFL got it wrong when it came to players protesting, but according to Malcolm Jenkins, he still needs to do one more thing.
Many applauded Goodell and the NFL’s about-face when it came to admitting it was on the wrong side of history when it came to its policy shunning players who peacefully protested social injustice and police brutality during the national anthem.
There are still some players, and political voices who feel both the league and its commissioner have to do more and New Orleans Saints safety and founder of the Players Coalition, Malcolm Jenkins is one of those people.
Speaking with CBS This Morning on Tuesday (Jun.9), Jenkins joined the call for Goodell and the NFL to acknowledge and apologize to the blacklisted quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, who started the kneeling protest.
Jenkins didn’t comment on whether he believes Kaepernick will return to the NFL but he did say if the league does not address Kaepernick, Goodell and NFL’s statement would just be empty noise.
