The NFL tends to remain aligned with police forces rather than advocating for players’ rights, evidenced by its treatment of Colin Kaepernick and Tyreek Hill's recent arrest.
Calais Campbell attempted to de-escalate the police interaction, witnessing that Hill was cuffed and faced aggression despite complying with the officers' orders, raising concerns on systemic racism.
Hill's experience raises significant questions about the treatment of athletes of color and challenges the NFL's token gestures against racism, spotlighting a disconnect between actions and words.
Amid their partnerships with law enforcement, the NFL has struggled to address ongoing racial injustice issues seriously, often opting for superficial measures instead of substantial change.
