NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, along with three Dolphins players, visited a North Miami middle school Tuesday to lead a discussion on anti-bullying and community policing.
The event was organized by the North Miami Police.
Goodell, who spoke out against NFL players protesting during the national anthem, was joined by the Dolphins players, all of whom who have either kneeled during the anthem or skipped the singing of the anthem.
Goodell sent a letter to NFL team owners, Tuesday, in which he wrote that the dispute over the national anthem is “threatening to erode the unifying power of our game.”
“Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the national anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us,” Goodell wrote.
