NFL Owners, Players Meeting on Colin Kaepernick, Protests Detailed in NYT Report

National Football League owners expressed concern about continued attacks from United States President Donald Trump throughout an October meeting with players about kneeling during the national anthem and the free-agent status of quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who led the movement.

On Wednesday, Ken Belson and Mark Leibovich of the New York Times reported details from the gathering after obtaining audio from the three-hour conversation, which NFL commissioner Roger Goodell urged those in attendance to keep "confidential."

"All Donald needs to do is to start to do this again," Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula said.
