The NFL and Roger Goodell himself posted a video on Friday, apologizing for not listening to players sooner when it came to racial issues. Despite the apology being made, Malik Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles fired back at Goodell.

While speaking to John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Jackson shared how he wants this installment of protests to go differently than the ones back in 2016:

“Like Colin Kaepernick doesn’t have a job … You stand by yourself and you realize what is important to you,” Jackson said. “Like I said, I thank Mr. Lurie and Coach Pederson for having that talk. I just wanted to make sure we brought that up … this time, we just want to keep on talking about the injustices and not to be stopped because of some of the rhetoric by anybody else and what they think this is about.”

As many know, Colin Kaepernick was at the forefront of the peaceful protests that took place in the NFL in 2016. The former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers chose to kneel during the national anthem. At the same time, he was voicing his disdain for the racial injustices and inequality that was occurring in America.

When Kaepernick and other players kneeled in 2016, the NFL took a hard stance against the notion. As a matter of fact, Kaepernick was shunned from the league for peacefully protesting.

Therefore, there are players like Jackson who question the legitimacy of Goodell's apology on Friday. On the other hand, Jackson hopes that nothing gets in the way of players having their voices be heard this time around.
