NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday the league will use its 2020 season to spotlight the need for "tangible change" to combat systematic racism in the United States.
The Associated Press provided Goodell's comments in wake of recent Black Lives Matter protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin:
"The NFL stands with the Black community, the players, clubs and fans. Confronting recent systemic racism with tangible and productive steps is absolutely essential. We will not relent in our work. We will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need.
