NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reaffirmed the league's commitment to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, stating that these efforts are fundamental to the NFL and enhance the organization. Goodell emphasized that the NFL's diversity efforts, including the Rooney Rule, are not influenced by external trends but are driven by the belief that diversity improves the league. He mentioned that these initiatives help attract the best talent and make the NFL stronger and better. This stance comes amidst a broader rollback of DEI programs in corporate America and the federal government, with the NFL standing firm on its policies. Goodell's comments were made in the context of recent discussions about the effectiveness of the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates interviews with minority candidates for certain positions.
