Prominent NFL players are calling for the league to “believe Black Lives Matter” in a powerful video posted to their Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Several players, including Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said in unison: ‘What if I was George Floyd?”
“It shouldn’t take this long to admit, so on behalf of the National Football League this is what we the players would like to hear you state:
“We the National Football League condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people.”
“We the National Football League admit we were wrong in silencing our players from peacefully protesting.”
We the National Football League believe Black Lives Matter.”
