>> he didn't say colin kaepernick.make that statement without saying we didn't listen to colin kaepernick when he was trying to tell us. >> there are people in the nfl who are still objecting to what they think colin kaepernick believes. drew brees gave an interview to yahoo news where he was asked if he that there would be kneeling in the nfl because of what happened to george floyd. >> i will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the united states of america or our country. >> drew brees, if you don't understand how hurtful, how insensitive your comments are, you are part of the problem. because when we step off this field and i take the helmet off, i'm a black man walking around america. even though we're teammates, i can't let this slide. >> so the backlash was swift. and drew brees immediately tried to contact people on his team. he spoke to malcolm jenkins, and then within 24 hours, he had a completely different message. >> i just want you to see my eyes, how sorry i am. and i will do better, and i w

that's a former 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick. your friendship with him and what you're trying to achieve. >> colin has been family to us. there is no distinction. i think there is nobody better today who embodies my grandfather's spirit and his willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of what's right and for african-americans in this country within kaepni. andy uncle stood for it. they're vex the sail. because of that, we strongly support colin and everything he's done. >> now just last week, the nfl commissioner roger goodell issued an apology to black players for not having listened to their complaints years ago about not listening to them. all the thing colin kaepernick was trying to call attention to when he took a knee. will that be effective in bringing back change? >> first i think he needs to apologize to colin kaepernick directly. that was an incomplete statement. for me, without wholly speaking the truth, we're not going to move forward the way we need to be. the nfl still has 70% players that are african-americ

that was the same when colin kaepernick was playing. that was the same four years ago.work around in a league that is made up mostly, 75%, i believe, of black players, how can you not understand the culture? how can you be so tone deaf? why should people all of a sudden now believe that the nfl is going to change? the nfl has all those players on the video back that roger goodell as the leader means what he says. how could he be so tone deaf and then all of a sudden he's here now? >> well, i just -- i think it's about education. as well. so four years ago, kaepernick, he took a knee. and he got condemned for doing it. but he had -- he was pushing the cause. and i just think over the course of the last few years they really started to understand how black and brown people were being treated, how police brutality was really hitting the black community hard, and i just think now this is an awakening. we're going to have a shift in the sense that they're actually opening their eyes and accepting the fact that we have to support our players and their causes and their communi

when will colin kaepernick be signed? period.as long as that is lingering there, as long as there's no answer for that, because in that apology that roger goodell had, colin kaepernick's name should have been mentioned and it wasn't. because this is the root of a lot of the backlash and why people can't take the nfl seriously, when it comes to social justice issues. the person who spoke about it first, you abandoned them. you black balled them from the league. and now that it feels like the public tide is turning, suddenly, you want to be about black lives matter. that is just a lot to take in, and it still looks quite hypocritical. >> janell, you stole my question to you. my next question to you was, do you think the nfl, roger goodell, should they apologize to colin kaepernick, and the president of the united states, as well? >> well, they have no control over what the president does. i don't think they should hold out for that. by that matter, right, we know that's not happening. so the reality is that the nfl can control thei

it is a stunning omission to not even mention colin kaepernick because he is the one who brought that taking the stand, the knee that he did and the penalty that, you know, has followed. but goodell, his timing of this apology or now acceptance of protests really comes after the string of sound bites from prominent players including, you. >> super bowl clamp patrick mahomes. and this is a portion of that clip. that perhaps inspired goodell. take a listen. do we not have that? >> how many times do we need to ask you to listen to your players? >> what will it take for one of us to be murdered by police brutality? >> what if i was george floyd? >> if i was george floyd? >> what if i was george floyd? >> if i was george floyd. >> i mean, you contrast that with what colin kaepernick has been saying for a very long time and he spelled out example after example. you know, why he was trying to bring to the consciousness of everybody. so how sincere will goodell's words be taken if room is not made for colin kaepernick if acknowledgment is not made by the nfl? >> i guess we just have to wait a

i assume he is referring to colin kaepernick. >> absolutely, wolf. this is very significant.ll just said we were wrong. i wasn't expecting to hear that from him. i think it shows the significance of the moment. everything we are going through as a nation, our culture right now, for roger goodell to make this, obviously he did this from his home. for him to do this, to feel the need to do it is a very dramatic statement, very dramatic move, it's correct, some might say, add my voice to this, wolf, it is a long time coming. colin kaepernick was kneeling during the national anthem, protesting the treatment of african-american men and social injustice. he was doing that in the summer of 2016, four years ago. the nfl could have embraced it then. obviously they didn't. they're embracing it now. it's a shame it took this long, it is a shame that colin kaepernick is not in the league to lead the way on this effort. i'm hopeful that the next statement will be announcing by a team that colin kaepernick has been signed. let's hope that happens next. >> let's see if that happens. i suspe

it all started in 2016 by then 49er quarterback colin kaepernick. and in the last month, it has re-energized the call for him to finally be signed to play for an nfl team. this week the nfl commissioner made his most supportive statement yet. >> if he wants to resume his career in the nfl, then obviously it's going to take a team to make that decision. but i welcome that, support a club making that decision, and encourage them to do that. >> reporter: a recent survey also shows the majority, 52% of people, believe it's okay for players to kneel during the national anthem. sean fletcher has worked in the nfl and sits on the academic advisory board of the institute for the study of sport, society, and social change. >> whees down to society no colin kaepernick did in 2016, society is just now starting to see particularly what the black community has seen our entire lifetime and what we've heard from previous generations. >> reporter: he thinks kaepernick will be signed but says it will be interesting to see what team owners do. >> we're talking about

tiki, no mention specifically of colin kaepernick. can the nfl really move forward, do you believe, without that quarterback after four years' absence eventually returning to the league? >> no, i think they can, wolf. it's -- this is an issue that's bigger than colin kaepernick at this point. i think if you talk about colin kaepernick, it's important because the nfl was wrong four years ago. history wouldn't have judged them well, but in roger's defense, he's getting it right this time. that's what's most important. it took an unfortunate incident for george floyd to bring it to light. but colin kaepernick is important because he started this. but it's grown so much bigger than what colin kaepernick was kneeling for. i said this on my show earlier this week, wolf. i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see other people, fans, police officers, et cetera, kneeling in solidarity with this movement that has exploded across the country. >> i suspect you're right. warrick, what do you think? >> well, i think roger is trying to do the right th

>> certainly the name of colin kaepernick was missing from that statement. i think certainly if not an apology for colin kaepernick, certainly an acknowledgment that his protest was valid, an acknowledgment that his nonviolent protest was legitimate and was -- in a lot of ways successful in driving home the point that this -- that this crisis was something that we need to be paying attention to. and it's something that was ahead of its time to some degree. and frankly, i think the nfl, if it's going to apologize, and i say this a former nfl blimp myself. if the nfl is going to apologize for not getting it they need to acknowledge who did get it. while this was an important step in the back the players, you know, when president trump attacked them, i think that is to some degree important, the nfl does have a long way to go in terms of acknowledging its own faults. >> you have tweeted out that you think they should rehire kaepernick. what's the message that that sends? >> well, it sends that this is a message that is not symbolic but that actually has substan

colin kaepernick deserves to be in the nfl.r years ago, he was banned by the nfl for taking a stance, to speak up that black lives matter, to fight against police brutality, for the systematic racism and discrimination that blacks have endured throughout our country's history, and he was penalized for this, banished. bring this man back into the nfl. he deserves t he's good enough to play quarterback in the nfl. he's not one of my clients but i'll tell you right now, objectively speaking, the league needs him. they need to embrace him. what he did was heroic, he's an activist and he should be praised not punished. give the man a chance to play again. if he can't play any more, physically, from the time off, so be it. give him a chance. what he stands for, the nfl needs to stand for. thankfully, the league needs to take a position where they're supporting colin kaepernick and equality, eliminating racism, oppression and discrimination against blacks. the nfl is made up of 70% black players. it's enough. embrace them! treat them

i would have loved to see him apologize to colin kaepernick. have loved to see him say something about kaepernick. but maybe that's for another day. but i do think the nfl's gone out here in a big way, and i am sure one of their biggest fans, donald trump, is not happy about this today. >> would the owners have had to agree to goodell saying this? >> the owners usually agree, and/or, goodell does what the owners want. that is a great question, i have not yet been able to get the answer to that. as you probably know, many of your viewers know at least ten nfl owners have given to donald trump's campaign. they are big, big donald trump supporters, including jones with the cowboys. dan snyder, here, in washington. so i am going to guess some of them are not entirely pleased about this either because they're trump guys. and they have not signed colin kaepernick. obviously, no one has. and they definitely -- you know, they've put their money right where their mouth is with trump. so now, you've got roger goodell going against the wishes of donald tr

former 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick who started the conversation about take the knee a few yearsose supporting a defense fund for those arrested during the recent demonstrations. kaepernick expressed his feelings in a tweet today calling those arrested freedom fighters. he also vowed to continue working to file civil rights cases against police who commit what he called terrorist acts. kareem abdul-jabbar praised kaepernick's activism. >> there has been a lot of talk about how horrible the rioting and looting is. that is no way to demonstrate. but people should think about the fact that colin kaepernick tried to demonstrate peacefully. what did he get? he got ostracized. he lost his job. he was blackballed. that was a peaceful protest. >> kareem says america needs to get to the point where people like kaepernick are taken seriously and acknowledge the wrongs that they're trying to identify and right. and interesting that more and more people are kind of with the message that it's okay to kneel. spencer, i want to get your thoughts on this. because earlier today, i saw drew brees,

the person who should be in the national football league is colin kaepernick. rectify that situation, it's hard to completely accept this apology from roger goodell. >> as you have noted, the nfl has struggled with social justice advocacy. drew brees, quarterback for the saints, has apologized for saying both in the past and reen recently that he solidly opposes disrespecting the american flag. my guess is part of this is the league evolving. part of this is protecting its bottom line because i don't think roger goodell would have made this statement, if he thought that team owners would have been upset by it. >> well, that's kind of tough to say because the nfl teams, they operate as 32 individual countries. and, even though roger goodell, in not supporting kaepernick as much. a lot of them are trump supporters. many of them gave to his campaign. and none of them -- notice none of them have made a statement, now, you could interpret that as maybe they have left it to roger goodell. but i don't see it that way. i still they are as dug in as they were before and

would have loved to see him apologize to colin kaepernick or say something about kaepernick, maybe that's day. but nfl has gone out in big way and i'm sure one of their biggest fans donald trump is not happy about it. >> would the owners have to agree to him saying that? >> usually owners would have to agree or goodell does what they want. i don't know. at least ten nfl owners have given to donald trump's campaign, big supporters, including jerry jones with the cowboys, dan snyder here in washington, i'm going to guess some of them are not entirely pleased about this either because they're trump guys and have not signed colin kaepernick, no one has. and they definitely put their money where their mouth is with trump. so now you've got roger goodell going against the wishes of donald trump. that's a fact. i think that roger goodell is sensing the mood of the nation and with the majority of the nation, and something that should be said, young fans are big fans of kaepernick, bought all the nike jerseys and t-shirts a couple of years ago in between 19 with successful marketing campaign with

the name of colin kaepernick.mer 49ers quarterback who faced backlash from the league after kneeling from the national anthem to protest police brutality. joining us now former nfl wide receiver, dante stallworth. your reaction when you heard the apology from goodell? >> i thought it was a good first step. i think obviously a lot of of people have the feeling that the nfl does not support the players because they continue to fail to mention colin kaepernick's name. and the fact that you know, a lot of the owners still to this day support donald trump, support him financially, support him politically. >> i think a lot of the players are fed up. and especially feel that sense the president has attacked players, calling them sons of bitches. when he speaks very highly of people who are marching in charlottesville that we see screaming jews will not replace us and what people in berlin did the day hitler became a chancellor. so that imagery is not lost on players and i think people are pissed off. and you see the vide

in 2016, colin kaepernick was exiled for taking a knee and now the nfl says that he was right?interesting that they didn't mention him by name because as you say, he hasn't been able to get a job in the league for the last three years and everybody more or less considers him incapable of playing in the league, certainly not at the level of those playing now. i think what happened was, roger goodell issued a statement last saturday and although it didn't say anything right, —— it didn't say anything wrong but it didn't say anything wrong but it didn't say anything right and more players spoke against it until a video was released telling him he needed to do more, and he did and that was the statement that was released. it would be an easy thing to take the next step and activelyjoin the protest, which is what's hinted at but not said in the statement. to me, the image of the commission of the nfl, and the owners perhaps, standing with players at the front of those demonstrations would send a powerful message not only to the people but to the law enforcement organisations facing

does the league owe him an apology, colin kaepernick? there is an implicit apology saying that we were wrong about this. he has ruffled some feathers on a personal level, and i think that would make the apology tougher to come by. i think i was the first and maybe the only network sports broadcaster in the summer of 2017 when the issue first arose to flatly say that colin kaepernick had been black balled. he was black balled. is he as good as he was during the 49ers' super bowl season? likely not. he was in decline and who knows how good he is after three seasons away. the shelf life of an athlete is short. at the least he deserves a chance to prove that and certainly in 2017 he was good enough to be on the roster of many nfl teams. so he was black balled. i think some sort of official acknowledgment of that would be helpful. >> thank you for answering that. another hall of fame sports journalist is speaking out about this moment. hb o's bryant gumbel on what he calls the black tax. >> it is the added burden that comes with being black i

"fox and friends first" starts right now. >> a very busy news morning, you're watching "fox and friends first" on thursday morning. jillian: thank you for starting the day with us. let's get right to the fox news alert, hundreds of protesters from portland streets outside what they believed to be mayor ted wheeler's home. >> some of them are calling it an occupy protests. reportedly setting up an autonomous zone similar to seattle's chop because their demands were not met on cutting the police budget. we will continue to monitor the situation throughout the morning. to another fox news alert, protesters surrounding atlanta police headquarters as charges are filed against the two officers involved in the death of ray is a bechard brooks. jillian: more officers are calling out the normal. >> reporter: the two officers facing a slew of charges this morning. garrett wolfe is facing 11 counts including felony murder. if convicted he could fa

colin kaepernick came at the right time, they were not able to isolate him because of the movement that existed where he was going to find support regardless of the direction the media wanted to take the story with the way the nfl or others take it. >> and outlets to communicate your ideas as well through social media. i remember interviewing 15 years ago people who were against bush and the war and outraged by hurricane katrina and all of these emotions, why don't you speak out about this? their answer was have you ever looked at the sports media. there are not a lot of people i can talk to to tell my story. what is the point of talking to them if i just get crushed for doing it? >> guest: if they had individuals in sports who come to like you or i, trying to sell that story as well. >> guest: you wrote an article about being in a room with other journalists and being the only one who had editorial power about what you were writing but it made a strong impression on you as a young person that a couple black journalists came to you and said you get to actually see what you write. >> gue

he's -- there are not 96 nfl quarterbacks better than colin kaepernick.y needs to sign him to a team and roger goodell needs to mention him by name, too. >> marvin, i want to show you -- marvin, the owners are, as you said, such an important piece of this. here's donald trump basically threatening or challenging the owners to be pretty harsh with players who protest. let's watch. >> wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now? out. he's fired. he's fired! >> you know, marvin, even among his voters, i'm not sure it's going to land the same way. you've got all of these military leaders in america coming forward and saying protest is inherently american, peaceful protests. and that's what all of these were on the field. do you think the owners will be fortified or stronger by the shifts in public opinion? >> i hope so, because not only does it happen in america, it's happening all over the world. and you're seeing these protests, but they don't have any issue with

colin kaepernick's name not mentioned in that video.e started the movement to kneel during the anthem in 2016 and has not played in the league since that time. former wide receiver dante stallworth telling don lemon this conversation must include his name. >> roger goodell should have mentioned colin kaepernick's name, by name. and they haven't done that. i think that is the thing that a lot of people still don't trust the nfl's words because their actions have shown and proven otherwise. a decent first step but the first steps now need to be followed through with action, with concrete action. >> goodell's statement running counter to the latest tweets from president trump on this. trump sent a tweet aimed at saints quarterback drew brees who apologized for his widely criticized comments about disrespecting the american flag brees then issuing a second apology directed at the president saying in part we must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic, racial injustice, economic oppression, police

colin kaepernick by name and they haven't done that and i think that is the thing that a lot of peopletill don't trust the nfl's words because their actions have shown and proven otherwise. decent first step but those first steps now need to be followed through with actions with concrete action. >> reporter: goodell's statement runs counter to the tweets by president trump. aimed at the apology of saints drew brees for his criticism about respecting the american flag breesing issuing a second apology saying we must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality and judicial and prison reform. to that end michael jordan and his iconic jordan sneaker brand are committing $100 million over the next ten years to organizations dedicated to ensuring racial equality. matt ryan pledging half a million dollars to a fundraiser to improve lives in atlanta's black community. the takeaway here is that action is going to be required. that's what nfl players are asking for moving forward if they want this issue to be resolved. >

maybe drew brees wasn't up on the history of why colin kaepernick chose to nekne.chose to kneel because an army ranger, a green beret, excuse me, nate boyer, told him when you take a knee, it is a sign for the fallen. maybe drew brees didn't understand the connection but we've had three or more years to find out and understand what colin kaepernick's protest was really about. so the back lash that he received was from people who felt like he took what is a very trying experience of being black in america and he made it about himself, rather than what the issue is about, which is police brutality. the apology, i'm not sure if credit or being commended, if that is what he exactly deserved. he needed to apologize for sure but i would like to see what drew brees does from here on out. as the old adage goes, pay attention to what they do, not to what they say. >> i want you to watch a clip from fox commentator laura ingram. she's talking about nba star lebron james speaking up on politics. and then she talks about drew brees. >> it's always unwise to seek political advi
