NFL condemns racism, admits 'we were wrong' not to listen to NFL player protests

National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell admitted the league was "wrong" for failing to listen to players who protested social injustice, he said on Friday in a video.

In his second statement released since the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minnesota, Goodell used the roughly 1:20 recorded message to not only "condemn and the systemic oppression of black people" but admit fault for not listening to its players "earlier."
