Several "Prominent Black" NFL Players Considering Sitting Out In Protest

Milwaukee Bucks started a sports-wide protest movement on Wednesday when they chose to boycott a playoff game. After the Bucks and every other team scheduled to play that day refused to play, the NFL followed their lead, with many teams choosing to cancel practice. This form of protest likely won’t die down as soon as the season starts, as some of the biggest names in the sport might actually.

According to Jim Trotter, has reported that some prominent players are considering sitting out a game or so during the 2020 season in the name of fighting for racial justice.

A lot of teams came together and canceled practice for a day, but choosing to miss out on a regular-season game would show that players are willing to forego money and fame in the name of social justice.

Several prominent NFL players have come out and shown support for those on the frontlines fighting for racial equality. With the hottest names in the sport lending his support to a cause that has unfortunately become divisive in our country, the boycott movement might very well manifest during the 2020 regular season and postseason if our situation doesn't change.
