Shame on you. This is beyond hollow + disingenuous. This is a lie. Your actions show who you are. You’ve done nothing but the exact opposite of what you describe here. Keep Mr. Floyd’s name out of your mouth. Shame on you + the “consultants” of this travesty of an organization.

Where were you when @Kaepernick7 was peacefully protesting racial injustice by taking a knee? Oh that’s right your entire league and its racist owners were conspiring against him. #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

When you say urgent need for action you mean like when one of your 32 starting quarterbacks tried to bring attention to the issue YEARS ago, and instead you blackballed him from the league? Hmm... pic.twitter.com/HcpZYQihOA

prevReally? So now the NFL wants to stand up to racism, convenient timing. They had their chance to stand up and do the right thing, they chose to support oppression, until now. Because now, the world is watching us go up in 🔥
