"It's the fans' frustration and I understand that," the NFL commissioner said Friday, a day after he was greeted with jeers during the first round of the NFL draft at Radio City Music Hall.
"They want football, you want football and I want football," he added. "I think everyone's frustrated by the circumstance, and I think that was a clear indication of it. I understand their frustration with me not being able to solve that. That's my job and that's my responsibility, and I accept that."
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the commissioner and the league expected the fans' frustration.
"We get it," McCarthy said. "The commish will tell you he's the biggest football fan in the world. That's why he's been in the business for 30 years. We're frustrated too. [The fans] have every right to express themselves."
