NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had a press conference today, and said the following:
NFL Commissioner Goodell: “What we’re trying to do is stay out of politics. We're not looking to get into politics" https://t.co/PYkaznlS9o

Oh, really?
But @nflcommish had no problem telling @dallascowboys they couldn’t put decal on helmets honoring 5 @DallasPD officers murdered by #BLM. ? pic.twitter.com/c0mZn7JTuJ

Pro tip to the @NFL: If you want to stay out of politics don't allow political protests. Is that so hard to figure out? https://t.co/u5XMpQmGGQ

When you think “NFL” these days, “staying out of politics” is not near the top of the list.
Too late! #BoycottNFL https://t.co/M5zbsnRhm7

Can you imagine that Goodell just said,
“We’re trying to stay OUT of politics!?”By doing nothing..?
No.
You’re neck deep in it, Roger, and sinking fast.@nflcommish @NFL— Ann ? (@Doodisgirl) October 18, 2017

He contradicted himself & NFL policies many times, complete waste of time made himself & the NFL look worse! https://t.co/qVVe2o34Nc

Roger Goodell is a coward. Enforce the NFL anthem policy or not, sitting in the middle by saying people "should" stand is pathetic

It’s almost like Goodell’s playing politics by reacting that way!
