Patrick Mahomes, Michael Thomas, More Call on NFL to Condemn Racism in Video

Some of the NFL's most prominent stars are speaking out and asking the league to confront racism in a video released Thursday.

Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyrann Mathieu, Ezekiel Elliott, DeAndre Hopkins and many of their colleagues across the league joined forces in asking the NFL to speak out against injustice towards people of color in much more critical language than the league has committed to.

Players in the video rhetorically asked the NFL "what if I was George Floyd?" and laid out clear demands for the type of response they expect from their governing body.
