NFL players expressed dissatisfaction with their league’s response to George Floyd’s death with a powerful video that prompted a video response from Commissioner Roger Goodell. Now unhappy with the NFL’s plan to provide them with a safe workplace during a pandemic, the players have staged a storm of tweets throughout the day.
It’s hard to know exactly how many players have tweeted today, but it’s safe to say that many have, and many stars have participated.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano said the coordinated effort was the brainchild of Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones. Jones suggested it in a recent call from player representatives “as a way to get the message across that players are not just trying to get out of camp – we want to play; let’s make it safe.”
Jones initially tweeted: “The NFL continues to ignore the major health and safety concerns that jeopardize the 2020 season. The United States wants to see soccer and we want to play. Make the necessary changes @nflcommish #WeWantToPlay “.
Since then, he has retweeted other players and responded to tweets from Michael Thomas and JC Tretter.
