The NFL makes an effort to support social justice recognition this football season. In this podcast I will analyze an article by Michael Levenson ``N.F.L Will Allow Six Social Justice Messages on Players’ Helmets” from The New York Times. In this Article Levenson informs readers with reasoning on how the NFL is taking a stand to support players who have demonstrated against racism and police violence. In the past years, Levenson emphasizes that the NFL hasn’t shown much support and has been hostile towards players who peacefully protested the national anthem. The NFL in regard to national protests across the country is now encouraging players to peacefully protest and to support social justice. Levenson qoutes Spokesmen who work for the NFL on the league’s action to make a change. In the Article Levenson claims that the league’s team rosters are about 70 percent African-American players. I chose to analyze this article because the NFL has a great chance to inspire change for social justice. The NFL draws a great amount of attention from people in our county. Levenson confirms and reports how the NFL is showing attention to social justice and plans into the future. Listen to my podcast to understand Levenson’s explanation.
