NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he doesn't believe the NFL's policies to promote diversity are in conflict with the Trump administration's efforts to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.

Perhaps nobody has come after Goodell harder than the current White House occupant himself, who lambasted the league throughout the 2017 season for permitting players to take a knee during the national anthem. He called the (mostly Black) players “sons of b*tches” and caused the league’s owners to convene a special meeting.
