Dear Change Community,
Together we pressured the seemingly untouchable NFL into giving up their tax-exempt status. In advance of next month's important NFL Rules Committee meeting, I'm sharing a new petition demanding more transparency and accountability.
Despite Commissioner Roger Goodell's claims that the league is fully addressing the dangers of concussions and brain injuries, helmet to helmet fouls were not discouraged in the 2018 football season. They went uncalled in games, and under-penalized with insignificant player fines after games. In fact, in the controversial NFC Championship Game, the infamous "no call" included an illegal, audible helmet to helmet hit.
Please join me in demanding that the NFL take action to improve players' health and safety through increased transparency and officiating changes:

By combining our voices, we can build a Sports Fans Coalition to tackle the issues of the NFL. As football fans -- and tax payers -- we deserve to have a say in creating a better league, so we can feel good about the teams we support, and trust in the integrity of the game.
Please sign and share today!

Thank you,
