NFL players press for lasting action on social justice
Richard Sherman challenged the NFL and owners to move beyond money and publicly condemn bigotry while maintaining steady action. The Players Coalition, formed in 2017, has gathered over 1,400 signatures and urged Congress to curb qualified immunity after the Floyd and Taylor deaths. Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins notes funding must shift to education and community programs rather than policing. NFL's Anna Isaacson says the league is deepening its long term commitment with grants to groups like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Metro Peace Academy.
