\n After the NFL admitted it was \u201cwrong\u201d in how it handled players protesting racial injustice in response to a widely circulated video compilation of black players speaking out against police brutality, actor Terry Crews \u2014 who played 32 game<\/a>s in the NFL \u2014 offered up his own message of solidarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI retired from the @nfl 23 years ago. The league has always been racist, but back then you ignored degrading treatment to improve the conditions of your family,\u201d Crews wrote on Twitter<\/a> along with Saints\u2019 wide receiver Michael Thomas\u2019 post of the NFL video. \u201cI thought it was all I had. Now I know better \u2014 and these men do too. I love you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crews, the 51-year-old \u201cBrooklyn Nine-Nine\u201d star, played for the Rams, Chargers and Redskins from 1991 to 1995. He also played for NFL Europe\u2019s Rhein Fire in 1995 and had a brief stint on the Eagles\u2019 practice squad in 1996 before retiring from football the following year.<\/p>\n

The powerful video \u2013 which featured big-name players like Patrick Mahomes, Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott \u2013 was created without league app<\/a>roval by an NFL video producer named Bryndon Minter, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m just going to go rogue here. If I can get one player to buy in, we\u2019ll take a chance at this and see what can happen,\u2019\u201d Minter told The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Minter said he made the decision after deciding that the NFL wasn\u2019t doing enough in response to the death of George Floyd, who died last month after former Minneapolis cop\u00a0Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd\u2019s neck for more than eight minutes. Minter recruited Thomas to help him persuade \u201ctop guys in the league\u201d to contribute to the video, per The Athletic.<\/p>\n

The solidarity video prompted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to respond in a video message released Friday night, which addressed the three specific statements the players asked the NFL to make about racism, social injustice and peaceful protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people,\u201d Goodell said. \u201cWe, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all players to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the National Football League, believe that black lives matter.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
