- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Saturday the league is “greatly saddened” by the recent high-profile killings of black people in the United States, including George Floyd, whose death after being pinned down by a white police officer in Minneapolis has led to widespread protests.
Floyd, 46, died on Monday after police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee to his throat despite Floyd’s repeated pleas for him to stop. Outrage over the incident has led to protests, some of them violent, in major U.S. cities the past four nights. “The protesters’ reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger and frustration that so many of us feel.”
