At a time when many corporations and public figures are quietly retreating from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is taking a different path—doubling down on the league’s commitment to DEI. But is this a genuine push for inclusivity, or just another corporate PR move?

In this episode, we break down:

The history of the NFL’s DEI efforts, including the Rooney Rule and LGBTQ+ representation.

How the anti-woke movement is pushing companies to abandon DEI.

Why Goodell is standing firm on DEI policies while others back away.

The impact on LGBTQ+ athletes and representation in sports.

Does the NFL’s commitment to diversity actually lead to systemic change?

Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of sports, activism, and corporate accountability. Is Goodell leading a new era for DEI, or will the NFL cave under pressure?
