From CBS San Francisco:

(KPIX)- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell now says that he wishes that the league had “listened earlier” to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick about the issues of racial injustice and police brutality. Goodell sat down with Emmanuel Acho for Acho’s Uncomfortable Conversations With A Black Man and Acho asked him how he would apologize to Kaepernick.

I wish we had the benefit of that. We never did.”
