Poll finds 61% of Americans think Goodell owes Kaepernick an apology

A majority of Americans believe Roger Goodell should issue an apology to Colin Kaepernick, a new survey by the Harris Poll suggests.

In a survey of more than 1,000 people, 61% agreed that Kaepernick deserves an apology from the NFL commissioner, according to Forbes' Kurt Badenhausen. The survey was conducted last week after a group of NFL players released a video calling on the league to condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people.

Goodell responded to the video by acknowledging the NFL was "wrong for not listening" to players who began protesting in 2016, though he didn't mention Kaepernick by name.

Two-thirds of survey respondents felt that Goodell's statement came across as insincere, while 53% said it was "too little, too late."
