Malcolm Jenkins is going to get his word out one way or the other.
And quite frankly… he’s done way more for social justice than Donald Trump will ever!
A day after the Philadelphia Eagles were disinvited to the White House from our petty POTUS, the NFL star held up a series of signs to communicate the actual point of the kneeling debate — raising awareness about police brutality and the need for criminal justice reform — as he stood surrounded by a sea of reporters.

Some of the handwritten signs from Wednesday read:
- “You aren’t listening”
- “More than 60% of people in prison are people of color”
- “Any given night 500,000 sit in jail. Convicted? No. Too Poor? Yes #EndCashBail”
- “Chris Long gave his entire year’s salary to educational initiatives”
- “Colin Kaepernick gave $1 million to charity”
- “Devin McCourty Duron Harmon, Matt Slater and Johnson Bademosi lobbied to raise the age from 7 to 12 entering the criminal justice system”
- “in 2018 439 people shot and killed by police (thus far)”
