Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said NFL owners shouldn't be able to create new rules during the offseason—such as the national anthem protest guidelines that have since been put on hold—"without ratifying it through the players."
On Wednesday, Kevin Clark of The Ringer provided comments from Rodgers about what he'd change if he replaced Roger Goodell as NFL commissioner for a day. Unresolved issues regarding the anthem would be near the top of the list:
"If you're going to take the focus off of what the protest was really about—it was never about the anthem; it was never about the troops; it was about social equality and racial injustice—then make it all about the anthem.
