Giants co-owner John Mara was part of a meeting between the NFL and the NFL Players Association on Tuesday in Manhattan to discuss a joint statement by the two organizations on what they call “the important issue of social activism by NFL players.”
The league and its players have been embroiled in controversy for the past few weeks over forms of protest that take place during the national anthem.
“We are all committed to an ongoing dialogue,” the brief statement said.
Mara declined to comment on the meeting.
It was the second time NFL owners have met to discuss the situation, following one last week with players, but this is the first meeting on the topic in which the union also had a formal seat at the table.
