Players Coalition invites Goodell, Kaepernick, McNair to meet
The Players Coalition — a group of NFL players banding together to promote social awareness — is trying to get several controversial figures in the ongoing controversy surrounding NFL protests.
The group announced in a letter Saturday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair, and free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick have all been invited to the group’s Monday meeting in Philadelphia.

McNair is in the news for his comments at a league meeting last week, while Kaepernick was the first to take a knee during the anthem last season. There have been efforts made to get him in the same room as owners, and while this won’t quite do it, it could be a step towards some understanding if everyone accepts the invite.
