Godll was asked about the league's commitment to diversity in the press conference.
“We have received diversity efforts because we felt that it was the right thing for the National Football Association, and we will continue these efforts because we have not only convinced ourselves, we have proven ourselves, and that we made this the American Football Association better,” said Godel. “We are not in this because it is a tendency to enter or go out of it.
“Our efforts are essential in trying to attract the best possible talent in the National Football League on and outside the field as I said earlier. Continue these efforts.”
Geodel said that DEI's league's efforts were a reflection of the foundations of the league.
“I think it is also clear that it is a reflection on the base of our fans, our societies and our players. People talk a lot about the Rooney base … There is no condition for employing a specific individual on the basis of race or sex. It is simply on and added that the basis for looking at a university campus for candidates reflects our societies Let's look at the type of talent there, then make the best decision on who is appointed. ”

“Many of us, including the National Football League in our office, do so voluntarily at all levels because it has benefited from us. I hear this from companies on a global basis. This is a very strong employment practice that we also adopt.”
Through Trump Dy's efforts in the government, some companies have retracted their own initiatives. Wall Mart, McDonald's Amazon, Ford and Louie only Some of these companies.
Guodel was asked if there would be any panic between the league and the sponsors of the companies if the companies decrease the Dei initiatives.
“We do not set policies for our sponsors, any of the companies, networks, or partners we are dealing with,” he said. “We have a lot of conversations about the importance of this for us. It is clear that we will take everything in mind … There are a lot of companies that have been associated with what is called changing their diversity policies and they have not contacted it directly. There are many conversations that revolve around it.”
Godll said he has no time to think about his role in the American Football Association Diversity commitment But I thought he made the league better.
“I am proud of this in this sense – I think our diversified efforts improved the American Football Association. I have attracted a better talent. We believe that we are better when we get different views, and people with different backgrounds, whether they are women, men or colored people – make ourselves Stronger, and make ourselves better when we have it. ”
