Michael Bennett: NFL Action 'Null and Void' If Owners Still Support Donald Trump
Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett isn't sold on the NFL's dedication to supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and working to end systemic racism.
Speaking to Robert Silverman of The Daily Beast, Bennett said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's recent video statement "saying that black lives matter is almost like a slap in the face" because "black talent has been exploited at a high level in the NFL."
Bennett also called on players to hold team owners who support Donald Trump accountable for their hypocrisy: "If you're supporting him, then your letter is really null and void.”
