"Last week, members of our team joined their brothers around the NFL in a powerful display of unity.

"It was an emotional time for everyone, including the fans who support us each and every week. As controversial as it appeared, we needed to show our collective strength and resolve.

"Our voices needed to be heard loud and clear.

"Make no mistake — our actions were in no way a protest of the military, the flag or those who keep us safe. We have nothing but the deepest love and respect for those who protect our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

"While there’s no greater country, it’s not perfect. Inequalities still exist, and we have work to do in ALL forms of social justice. We can all do better.

"It starts with us. We need to do our part and use our platform as NFL players to continue driving that positive change.

"Our locker room is one diverse place, and that’s what makes it so special. It’s where thoughtful, intelligent leaders from all different races, religions and backgrounds come together.

"We may have different values and beliefs, but there’s one thing we all agree on:

"We’re a team and we stand together — no matter how divisive some comments and issues can be, nothing should ever get in the way of that.

"Starting Sunday, we’ll be standing together."


Here comes the crawfishing around the league

Also, I want equality too... I want NFL players who clearly commit crimes to be accountable and punished, just as you or I would be.

Equality of opportunity exists in America, but what the left and what ignorant people want is equality in outcome, which is an impossibility.

TRUMP wins, America wins


Edit: Remember, John Elway wrote a letter endorsing, and recommending his buddy, Justice Neil Gorsuch to SCOTUS, and he wrote it and sent it on an official Denver Broncos letterhead. Caught a bit of heat at the time for it.

Sorry, but what the hell is "social" justice? Can anyone define that?

I think this is Dignan after getting some justice, socially, after he was still with her after getting destroyed emotionally by a large orange skinned man born to save the USA

Linebacker, Brandon Marshall did last year for 1 game, before it was cool.

He lost every single one of his endorsement contracts after the game and he QUICKLY apologized and started donating like $100 for every tackle he made to organizations that fight gangs/crime in the Denver area.

So much love and respect that they committed a act that many of those same people find highly offensive. Let's be honest if it wasn't for the massive outrage directed at them, they'd still be doing it.

so none this year? cool

so last weekend was more about Trump and "solidarity" than any actual protest and now they got that out of the way, back to normal

yet somehow y'all are spinning this as Trump winning or something

The only way inequalities won't exist is when everyone is equally dead.
