NFL players everywhere have spoken out against social injustice following the tragic death of George Floyd. They’ve called for law enforcement to make changes and taken a stand against racism, doing their part by either marching in peaceful protests, posting on social media or donating to various organizations.
The NFL itself had stayed relatively quiet until commissioner Roger Goodell responded to a video of players calling for the league to join the fight.
But Rams legend Marshall Faulk doesn’t think it’s enough.
He wants the NFL to do more to support its players during this extremely important time.
Faulk posted a photo of Colin Kaepernick recently, thanking him for taking a stand four years ago when he kneeled during the national anthem. Kaepernick hasn’t played an NFL down since 2017 after teams refused to sign him, but now the league is supporting players who want to peacefully protest.
It’s highly likely players will protest in some form when the season begins, whether it’s by kneeling during the anthem or raising a fist in the air, as Robert Quinn did with the Rams.
