As social justice unrest has rocked the country in recent months, the league has been making its own efforts to tackle racism, four years after Colin Kaepernick started kneeling on one knee during the pre-national anthem. I play as a protest against systemic racism.
Not to mention Kaepernick, a former San Francisco 49ers player, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last month that the league should have listened to players’ concerns about racism earlier.
That was in response to NFL players calling on the league to condemn racism and support its black players.
Shortly after Goodell’s comments, the NFL announced that it will pledge $ 250 million over the next 10 years to help combat systematic racism.
Kaepernick, who has not signed since 2017, said last month that he joined the Medium blogging platform as a board member and contributor, creating stories about race and civil rights.
The 2020-21 season is slated to begin on September 10, with team training camps scheduled for July 28.
