Last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which many believed was empty considering the league’s history with peaceful protesting against police brutality.

According to Judy Batista of NFL.com, the league is teaming up with players to create a program for criminal justice reform, as well as fiscal education.

An anonymous source close to the league says the NFL is willing to partner up with Colin Kaepernick, who was forced out of the league following his decision to kneel in protest during the National Anthem.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the work Colin and other players have led off,” the source said.

It would be awesome to engage Colin on some of the work we are doing.
