FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Jets linebacker Demario Davis and right tackle Kelvin Beachum said they are encouraged regarding a $100 million commitment by NFL owners to fight social change.
An ESPN report said the league submitted a final draft to the players that nearly $100 million would be donated to charitable organizations that help African-American communities.
The objective, according to the report, is to possibly end players from protesting before and during the national anthem for social causes.
“My talks with the Players Coalition are still going on in a positive manner,” said Davis, who is a member of the coalition along with Beachum.
