Bill O’Reilly Slams NFL Commish Roger Goodell Over Protests: ‘You’re a Coward!’ (Mediaite)

Bill O’Reilly had a few choice words Monday for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the subject of protests.

Appearing on SiriusXM’s The Wilkow Majority, the former Fox News primetime star claimed that Goodell and the league office refused to let the New York Giants wear a patch commemorating 9/11 on their sleeves. (He is appears to be mistaken in this, although the league did refuse to allow Tennessee Titans player Avery Williamson to wear special cleats to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks in September 2016. Williamson and five others who wore the cleats that week were not fined.)

But the former O’Reilly Factor host lashed out against Goodell for not approving 9/11 tributes while permitting players to kneel for the National Anthem.
