@Mikey_Phillips One Celtics reporter literally said they’re giving Tatum an ‘all star break rest’ before all star weekend. I’m hoping everyone is healthy on both sides for an ECF rematch
Part 2: The Full Story
Behind the NFL’s BLM stance were a week of raw, “uncomfortable” meetings; and years of courage from Black employees who pushed Roger Goodell to say what he finally said Friday… back in 2017:

The #NFL held a video conference on Friday for all its employees, including Roger Goodell and @wyche89 was one of the moderators, along with @MJAcostaTV, and told us about how it moved him:
The NFL’s own social team went behind the league’s back, created this video with players, met with Goodell after doing it and then got the league to come out with an apology for its previous inaction.
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected.
this story of the NFL social team putting together a BLM video with players / without league approval is incredible.

After the NFL released a weak statement last week, a powerful video from star players, led by Michael Thomas, pressured Roger Goodell into responding.
Thomas had help from some of the NFL's own employees, who worked unauthorized w/ players in solidarity: https://t.co/rheFwEdLIb
"I decided, ‘Hey, I’m just going to go rogue here. If I can get one player to buy in, we’ll take a chance at this and see what can happen."
How players + frustrated league employees created the video that forced Goodell's hand. With @JourdanRodrigue:

According to multiple league sources, this video of Goodell, who responds directly to players' requests in powerful video yesterday, came after series of emotional meetings w/ league content creators dissatisfied with original NFL statement, and vocal player dissatisfaction.
"Being a celebrity, being an NBA player don't exclude me from no conversation at all."
Jaylen Brown drove 15 hours from Boston to Atlanta to join the protests.

I’d love to know the amount of times I’ve said “with everything going on” or “given the circumstances” in emails and video conferences over the last two months
