Weeks after controversial former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick held a workout in front of several teams, league commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters that he and the NFL have “moved on.”

“I haven’t thought about this in a few weeks,” Goodell said, according to CNN. “This was, as I’ve said to you before, about creating an opportunity. Which Colin’s representatives came out in early October [with a list of false narratives about Kaepernick], and we created that opportunity. It was a unique opportunity, incredible opportunity, and he chose not to take it. I understand that. And, you know, we’ve moved on.”
