As we gather with family and friends today, we remember those who are no longer with us – the makers of the game who laid the foundation of today’s NFL and who paid too great a price. We’re thankful for having had them as teammates; for the wives, family and friends who cared for and supported them; and for the efforts of those who are working so diligently to change the culture and make the game safer.
We’re thankful, too, for the support we’ve received from teammates, friends and fans that enables us to continue to advocate for and provide support to retired NFL players. And we’re thankful for the critics, for they’ve made Fourth & Goal – an all-volunteer organization – stronger, wiser, and even more determined. In the words of Margaret Mead, “Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.”
Happy Thanksgiving.
