Broncos running back Melvin Gordon is frustrated with the NFL, saying on Friday it’s been “slow to the party” to address issues of racial injustice and police brutality.
In lieu of Thursday’s practice, the Broncos met in the morning and then reconvened at their facility in the afternoon, discussing Jacob Blake’s shooting in Kenosha, Wis., last weekend, and the unrest in the country following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
The meetings came four years after 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first took a knee during the national anthem.
