The NFL responded to Nike naming Colin Kaepernick as one of the faces of its 30th anniversary "Just Do It” campaign by releasing a statement on social justice, reports to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"The National Football League believes in dialogue, understanding and unity. We embrace the role and responsibility of everyone involved with this game to promote meaningful, positive change in our communities," wrote Jocelyn Moore, the NFL's executive vice president of communications and public affairs. The social justice issues that Colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action.
