Roger Goodell’s Contract Extension Delayed Over National Anthem Controversy

As the national anthem protest “issue” lingers, with a dozen of players still participating in the protest of social injustices and police brutality, the expected contract extension for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reportedly been placed on hold.

 

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the controversy surrounding the National Anthem has halted the process of Goodell’s contract extension. Although “Goodell’s deal is still expected to be completed and has been papered,” Schefter reports, “the process has been slowed while the overwhelming majority of the NFL’s attention has been diverted to handling the anthem issue, which has affected TV ratings, merchandise sales and the country’s feelings about football.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀

“The anthem issue has overridden everything – and I do mean everything,” a source told EPSN.

Last week, the league held a meeting with owners and a few players to discuss changes in the forthcoming season. However, those discussions didn’t receive as much attention as the anthem “issue.” In the meeting, players discussed the issues that they were protesting within their own communities. Although owners mentioned that they would prefer players stand during the anthem, it is still not required.

So, until Goodell can resolve the anthem controversy, it appears his contract will remain in limbo.
