The NFL is committing $250 million to combat systemic racism and help address ongoing and historic injustices.
Players and the league have both urged the need for changes as protests nationwide have brought alarm and urgency regarding racism, officer-linked deaths and more.
In a Thursday statement, the league said, "The NFL is growing our social justice efforts through a 10-year total $250 million fund to combat systemic racism and support the battle against the ongoing and historic injustices faced by African-Americans. The NFL and our clubs will continue to work collaboratively with NFL players to support programs to address criminal justice reform, police reforms, and economic and educational advancement.
