Inside the Confidential N.F.L. Meeting to Discuss National Anthem Protests
Here's a transcript of last Octobers confidential meeting with NFL owners and players. Also, interesting to see how a couple of these owners feel about Trump behind closed doors.
“The problem we have is, we have a president who will use that as fodder to do his mission that I don’t feel is in the best interests of America. It’s divisive and it’s horrible.”
— Patriots owner Robert Kraft
“We’ve got to be careful not to be baited by Trump or whomever else. We have to find a way to not be divided and not get baited.”
“Another fact I want to throw out there: Many of us have no interest in supporting President Trump. Yes, there are some. There are some players who do, too.”
“But this is not where you brandish a group of people because they own assets in a sport we love, supporting what many of us perceive as, you know, one disastrous presidency. Don’t quote me.”
— Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie
