CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A day after dozens of star players spoke out the NFL is releasing a stronger statement on racial justice.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a video condemning racism while committing to being part of the change.

We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. #InspireChange pic.twitter.com/ENWQP8A0sv
