The NFL has pledged $250 million over the next 10 years to combat systemic racism, the league announced Thursday.
The announcement comes days after commissioner Roger Goodell, in response to a plea from several prominent players urging him to revise the league's initial statement on systemic racism and police brutality, released a video in which he said the NFL was "wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier" with regards to peaceful protests against these issues.
Along with the NFL's commitment of a quarter of a billion dollars over the next decade, the league is reportedly willing to work with Colin Kaepernick on social justice initiatives, according to NFL.
