Roger Goodell seeks out Doug Baldwin; what did Seahawk learn about NFL’s push for equality?
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J The NFL so admires the calculated, inclusionary ways Doug Baldwin is pushing for social and racial equality and criminal-justice reform, its commissioner sought him out to talk more about it.
Roger Goodell asked the Seahawks wide receiver this past week if he could meet with Baldwin on Saturday, while Seattle was in the New York City area near league headquarters to play the Giants on Sunday.
Goodell earlier in the week co-signed a letter Baldwin wrote to Congress backing a criminal-justice reform bill. Baldwin asked him to do that, to get the league from its top behind his initiatives he started in 2016 with state attorneys general and police officials.
