joining us exclusively is the commissioner of the nfl roger goodell. joining us today >> good morning, julia it's great to be with you. and it's great to hear you say the season is only a week away that's great news. >> well, assuming the season, everything starts as planned the big question is how different things will look both for your players and for fans this year. >> well, i think it's safe to say, julia, everything is different in 2020 for us the off season has been different from the draft all the way through our off season planning, off season training, to this training camps themselves obviously we're having to put a lot of focus on health and safety that is number one priority for us of our players, of our coaches, of all our personnel, our fans and so, all that planning has been, you know, extraordinary amount of work and frankly has gone incredibly well through at least our training camp and put us in this position now where the week to go before our season where we are confident we'll be able to play not just the start of our season but t

now -- [laughter] all of that pandering and compliance and accommodation by roger goodell and the restgoing for naught. colin kaepernick just being who he is. >>> well, joining us tonight is larry elder, host of the larry elder show on the salem radio network, executive producer of the documentary "uncle tom." let's start with kaepernick. i can't believe this guy. he has been treated like a rock star, and now concern and rogerr good -- and roger goodell has done everything but kneel himself before the great activist, marxist, whatever you want to call him, kaepernick. they bow down every time he says anything. so does nike. so do too many, in my opinion, corporations in this country, public corporations who are turning over money, air time and supporting him and the left in this, in this broadside. your thoughts. >> well, it shows you how well the trump economy is doing notwithstanding the coronavirus pandemic shutdown, because colin kaepernick apparently is working. look, i keep waiting for just one of these athletes, lou, just one -- aside from herschel walker -- to stand up and say

roger goodell is the commissioners of the nfl.sioner tells you to come to the office, then you come to the office. that is what -- he doesn't have you, he sends out a request and he tells you to come to the office. >> so you see this more on kap and less on goodell and using the video and not calling and not having a conversation with him. because the offer is out there? >> both parties, i think both parties share some fault. i thought it was in poor taste for the nfl to use colin kaepernick and eric reid in the video when neither one of those players are playing or on a current roster right now. they have been the most outspoken players starting four years ago. and for the nfl to use that, in their messaging, i just thought it was in poor taste. >> what about the playing of lift every voice and sing during this first week of games, the ability of coaches to wear decals or even some of the stickers with names of victims these gestures are unquestionably meaningful to a lot of people. does it go far enough for you? >> well, it does

nfl commissioner roger goodell really wants to take a lead on this issue. to say one thing. i'm not saying nfl fans don't believe in social justice because many of them, many of them do. but here's the problem that they have from this standpoint and this could really affect tv ratings and the ability to sell advertising. the last time the nfl flirted with social justice a couple years ago, when fans -- when players began to kneel, fans boycotted the games. not just at the games, but mainly watching it on tv. ratings went down significantly. this is where i talk to a lot of nfl executives. while they are all for social justice, they are all for, you know, some sort of political expression, many of them support taking one knee in the past. they are saying listen, we are playing with fire here. not only do we have half the revenues because the gate is not going to be there. we depend on tv now. we depend on ratings. what happens if the nfl fan, which by the way, liz, skews conservative, skews military, conservative and now, what happens if that nfl fan gets tu

eric chemi joins us with how they plan to pull this off >> roger goodell is hoping more stadiums willowing fans as the season progresses. for now only a handful of teams will have spectators in the first weekend. goodell says that's up to local government officials the imbalance has upset many coaches, who say that's unfair, it's helping only some teams, but the commissioner says the league doesn't believe that live fans give a competitive advantage, if can you believe that also he said the league welcomes back colin kaepernick to the table for the discussions. >> we respect our players. they have done a great job of bringing attention to these issues our focus now is how do we support them in making the changes. that's where we're focusing. there are a lot of things that we're planning for this season with great uncertainly we're prepared, you know, to make the best decision on behalf of the nfl, on behalf of our players, on behalf of our fans and our partners >> the first game kicks off next thursday with a limited number of fans, in kansas city. back to you. >> did he discuss the i

in june, commissioner roger goodell apologized for the league's prior stance. due to the pandemic, the stadium had 16,000 in attendance, not the 70,000 capacity for arrowhead stadium. all were wearing masks except for eating and drinking. there were signs of protest among those in attendance. but also both end zones were painted with messages of end racism and it takes all of us. before the game, the song lift every voice and sing was played which some have called the black national anthem. the chiefs stood arm in arm in the field. alex okafor took a knee for the national anthem sung by the r&b duo who wore t-shirts of george floyd and breonna taylor. after the texans took the team, both teams joined hands for a moment of silence dedicated to equality in our country. several fans were heard booing. >> thank you. >> on the back of many helmets were messages that the nfl had approved including stop hate, it takes all of us and racism and black lives matter. all of this social change is not enough for some. already the miami dolphins have said they'll not be on th

we don't ask mitch mcconnell to play football, we shouldn't ask roger goodell to play politics. as you suggest, sports. but it's also, to watch how politically active, for example, nike has become, this is a public company that's being run as if the hr department is the ceo and has a majority on the board. they're peddling a lot of stuff that is, it is divisive, and it is, it is not uplifting. it is simply carrying a very specific message to an audience that has not invited them into their homes for that purpose. the fiduciary responsibility they have is a weighty one, so so should be their responsibility to avoid politics of any kind. >> yeah. listen, i think the greatest thing that americans have in their quiver here is that they have the power of the wallet, and they have the power of the ballot. and this election will decide a lot of these issues, and where you put your money on products each day also decides those issues. those americans that are disaffected by whatever companies have the opportunity to make their say by not buying those products. and i think you're going t

others found this public pressure this year too much to bear after floyd's death, nfl chief roger goodell rushed out a vague video claiming he now has realized he's wrong about curbing those peaceful protests, but not offering any big reforms, and many rejected that double talk, at floyd's own memorial, reverend al sharpton went right at the issue. >> head of the nfl said, yeah, maybe we was wrong football players, maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest. take a man's livelihood, strip a man down of his talents, and four years later, when the whole world is marching, all of a sudden, you go and do a face time, talking about you sorry? when colin took a knee, he took it for the families in this building and we don't want an apology, we want him repaired! >> kaepernick's still paying the price four years later there's a certain irony that a man wh quietly did something that's inherently so much bigger than himself and sports find so many people, of course, interested in his future, his consequence. he used his activism so people would focus on these facts, how police practice ra

nfl commissioner roger goodell spoke highly of sayers saying he was an electrifying and elusive runner who thrilled fans every time he touched the ball. the unlikely friendship between sayers and teammate brian pick aloe was depicted in the beloved movie "brian's song." williams who portrayed gayle in the movie paying tribute to the legend writing, the role was, quote, a true honor and gayle was an extraordinary human being with the kindest heart. gayle sayers passed away at the age of 77, george and michael. >> what an inspiring story he was. >> absolutely. lost a good one. >> yeah, we did. >>> we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including some top experts warning the fight against the virus is far from over. tense hearing on capitol hill yesterday as president trump challenged the fda on the expected new rules for vaccine makers. >>> and the exclusive look this morning. our deeper dive into the mysterious disappearance of "tiger king" carole baskin's former husband. >>> first, let's go to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. fire weather getting

but i think what it shows is that not only did trump miss the message but roger goodell's quote aboutw, maybe we should have listened to colin kaepernick. what a lot of americans, especially white americans, 52% in this poll now say kneeling is okay. had you listened to kneeling three years ago, maybe we wouldn't be here. like everybody thought that kneeling was such an extreme way to respond and then you had to see somebody die at the hands of a police officer to say, kneeling is a lot nicer than buildings getting burned down. that's the lesson people are figuring out that peaceful protests. nobody seems to listen to peaceful protests. when you contrast peaceful protests to antifa and white nationalists battling it out in the parking lot of a target you realize a couple of nfl players and college players taking a knee isn't such a bad thing. >> you know, kim atkins, to borrow bob costa's analysis from the conversation of the economy, here again, joe biden and kamala harris have been quite nuanced. their message is i'm going to have a place at the table for people who might feel they

you look at roger goodell who works for the owners, he's hired by the owners. farely well or a got to know a lot of people around the league who know what his heart is. it sounds like i thought over the summer the had a real evolution on his thinking on this. my sense from listening to him is he really was starting to get it. then yesterday he made a comment about how well this isn't about politics. i just said, that's just -- this is about unity. the safe sort of sound bite that a lot of the owners and the commissioner has sort of fallen into here is unity, unity. that's the safe word. they can sort of afford to do that yesterday when there's these pre-game demonstrations because there weren't crowds in stadiums for the most part who would have created an optical problem. to say it's not about politics at this point is ridiculous. no one has ever in that league stoods up to donald trump. not any of the owners. not the commissioner. to me that would be the ultimate political act at this point. >> bill, bill, is anyone standi with colin kaepernick? i'm just a fa
