The National Football League announced Thursday that it was pledging $250 million to “combat systemic racism” following George Floyd’s death.
“The NFL is expanding its social justice efforts through a 10-year, $250 million fund to combat systemic racism and support the battle again,” a tweet from NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero read.
In a piece posted on NFL.com about the donation, the league explained they would be willing to work with Colin Kaepernick on the work they are doing. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the work Colin [Kaepernick] and other players have led off,” a person familiar with NFL’s decision shared.
