PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins opted not to speak at his media availability Wednesday. Instead he held up signs highlighting the work of NFL players in the community and facts related to social justice matters every time a question about the cancellation of the White House visit was raised.
On Wednesday evening, Jenkins broke his silence and explained the motivation behind that action in a one-on-one with ESPN.
"I'm tired of the narrative being about the anthem, about the White House or whatever," he said following a meeting in downtown Philadelphia with top public defenders from around the country on the issue of bail reform.
