Kaepernick file as NFL chief admits league at fault

commissioner of US National Football League (NFL) mitted organisation has been at fault for t listening to its players deuncing racism, coming as country is gripped by widepsre protests following death of George Floyd in Minnesota last week.

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick h been one of main supporters of Black Lives Matter movement in NFL, regularly kneeling down during national anm before games.

NFL h previously banned players from dropping to one knee, a practice started by Kaepernick in 2016.

32-year-old quarterback hasn’t played in league since that season but four years later, his protest is widely viewed as prescient. Though Goodell did t dress Kaepernick, he mitted NFL was wrong to push back against protests on playing field.
