Eagles players Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Long released statements earlier Wednesday Ryan Getzlaf Jersey , strongly criticizing the NFL’s new national anthem policy.

Jenkins said owners thwarted “the players鈥?constitutional rights to express themselves and use our platform to draw attention to social injustices like racial inequality in our country.”

Long accused owners of reacting to a “fear of a diminished bottom line,” and a “fear of a president turning his base against a corporation.” He called the new policy a fail, saying, “I’m someone who’s always looked at the anthem as a declaration of ideals, including the right of peaceful protest. Our league continues to fall short on this issue.”

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement he was proud of his players for “working to influence positive change.” But he didn’t go as far as 49ers owner Jed York, who abstained in the vote, or Jets CEO Christopher Johnson Womens Victor Rask Jersey , who declared that his team would not punish players for kneeling.

鈥淚 have always believed it is the responsibility of sports teams to be very proactive in our communities,” Lurie said. “In this great country of ours, there are so many people who are hurting and marginalized, which is why I am proud of our players for continuously working to influence positive change. Their words and actions have demonstrated not only that they have a great deal of respect for our country, but also that they are committed to finding productive ways to fight social injustice, poverty and other societal issues that are important to all of us. We must continue to work together in creative and dynamic ways to make our communities stronger and better with equal opportunities for all.鈥?/p> The NFL is joining an effort for nonprofit organizations to support healthy lifestyle programs for veterans and their families.

The league will contribute $2 million to the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which was established in 2006 after the television journalist was wounded by a roadside bomb while covering the war in Iraq.

The foundation has invested more than $55 million for programs that empower the military and their families. The NFL will work with the Woodruff group in creating a grant referral system for nonprofits.

Anna Isaacson Youth Mark Letestu Jersey , the NFL senior vice president of social responsibility, says the league is committed to "evolving its work in the military landscape and funding programs that will make a tangible, long-lasting impact."

One of those programs is Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, a nationwide nonprofit that provides rehabilitative fly fishing programs for disabled active duty personnel and for disabled veterans. It has 8,500 participants and another 3,500 volunteers who teach disabled veterans the intricacies of fly fishing and stages events locally, regionally and nationally.

"The BWF provides us with a grant each year that supports one of our largest programs for rod building Craig Smith Jersey ," says Todd Desgrosseilliers, president and CEO of Project Healing Waters who spent 31 years in the military and sustained traumatic head injuries in combat. "We had over 900 veterans participate in it thanks to that. It's part of a larger core of activities we have that include fly fishing education and outings.

"We meet on a regular basis, whether weekly or twice or month, with a minimum of once a month. This is a group of disabled veterans coming together with folks who care about them, and involved in an activity that is fun and therapeutic."

An affiliation with the NFL is logical, says Marshall Lauck, chief growth and marketing officer for the Bob Woodruff Foundation.

"The NFL is such a prominent American brand and one that has a longstanding commitment to the vet community Youth Pavel Zacha Jersey ," Lauck says. "This is not something new to them, given their history with supporting veterans and the active military. It's a time of increased interest on their part in how most effectively they can support the veteran community (through nonprofits).

"Our expertise can be very helpful for the NFL in its goals in supporting the veteran communities."
