NFL Doubles Down on Social Justice Support Ahead of Chauvin Verdict

NFL Doubles Down on Social Justice Support Ahead of Chauvin Verdict
19 Apr 2021
Before the jury in the Derek Chuavin trial hands down its verdict, the NFL would like its fans to know that the league “stands committed” to using its “platform” to fight for “social justice.”
Those sentiments were communicated in a memo sent by Commissioner Roger Goodell to league employees and obtained by Pro Football Talk.
“We have all been witnessing an unspeakable amount of violence across the country,” the memo reads. “Our minds are also focused on the Derek Chauvin trial, which is reaching its conclusion.”
We wanted to make sure you are aware of resources the league offers to employees through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The trauma, emotion and anger that follows violence is difficult to bear. Please know that the NFL stands committed to using our platform to foster these conversations and to put in the work necessary to fight for social justice and to prevent these situations from happening over and over again.
