NFL creates social justice committee comprised of owners, players

The NFL announced it created committee focused on promoting social and racial justice initiatives Tuesday that is comprised of owners and players.

League commissioner Roger Goodell said the dialogue between players earlier this season is to credit for Tuesday’s announcement, which he said was just a start.

"We feel that we are going to make significant progress as we have more meetings, as we get more focused on our efforts, it's going to actually come to life," Goodell said. "And frankly, we will get better as the days go by."
