TAMPA, Fla. – NFL players and their union want the league to continue fighting for social justice and they’re still seeking an increase in the number of minority coaches. Two minorities were hired for seven head coach openings this offseason. There were three Black head coaches when the Rooney Rule was adopted in 2003 and there are three now, despite several changes to the rule to help promote more opportunities. Goodell said having two minority coaches hired this year wasn’t what they expected and not what they expect moving forward. “It does frustrate players, especially African American players, because we see ourselves as potential leaders within the NFL community,” Woodyard said.

CHICAGO A group of teens in Chicago is growing a small business selling fresh fruits and vegetables in whats known as an inner-city food desert. Its a place where liquor stores outnumber grocery stores seven to one. The kids even tore down a liquor store to create it. The name of the business, Austin Harvest Market, is located on Chicagos west side, which has seen a lot of protests and crime. The kids got help from former Chicago Bears linebacker Sam Acho, who assisted with startup costs and financial advice.
