Blakeman: Roger Goodell Is ‘Indecisive’ and ‘Feckless’ and the League Needs to ‘Sack’ Him

‘He would have stopped it the first time Kaepernick took a knee and said in the NFL we don’t do this and disrespect the flag’

EXCERPT:

BLAKEMAN: "No doubt about it. I think the commissioner is indecisive, he's feckless, and the only reason he is caving now is because the fans have reacted and they've reacted viscerally to players who take a knee for the national anthem. It’s unacceptable. And if he were a leader, he would have stopped it the first time Kaepernick took a knee and said, 'In the NFL we don’t do this. We don't disrespect the flag. As part of your employment, you’ll stand for the flag. If you don’t want to stand for the flag, get in the locker room. But you won’t take the field in our uniform, representing not only our brand but also the fans, the city that it’s played in and the nation as a whole and disrespect the national anthem.' In my opinion, Bill, they need to sack Roger Goodell. And by the way, take your spokesperson with you, Joe Lockhart who had a tin ear in not giving the proper advice and not giving the proper response."
