A group of four players sent the NFL a memo in August requesting league support and asking for a month to be dedicated to social activism.

The request came not long after Roger Goodell reportedly had talked to several players regarding their game-day activism efforts.

Michael Bennett, Malcolm Jenkins, Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin co-wrote the 2,740-word document intended to push the NFL into efforts "similarly to what the league already implements for breast cancer awareness, honoring military, etc."

"We would like November to serve as a month of Unity for individual teams to engage and impact the community in their market," the memo stated.
