Of the 32 @NFL teams:
15 issued #chauvinverdict statements + @NFL
17 did not [yet] issue statements.
It& #39;s worth examining not just WHO said something but WHAT was said about the #GeorgeFloydTrial & #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd. A short

In their statements 3 #NFL teams refer to the "the senseless murder" of #GeorgeFloyd ( @Broncos; @BuffaloBills; @washingtonnfl) while @RamsNFL refers to his murder.
His murder is not explicitly acknowledged by any other team in their statement
His murder is not explicitly acknowledged by any other team in their statement
Some teams such as @Broncos & @WashingtonNFL explicitly acknowledge the "guilty verdict", another 6 teams speak about "the verdict".
Meanwhile @NFL only speaks about "today& #39;s outcome" as code for #ChauvinIsGuilty #ChauvinTrial #NFL
Meanwhile @NFL only speaks about "today& #39;s outcome" as code for #ChauvinIsGuilty #ChauvinTrial #NFL
The @Vikings chose not to refer to the trial or the verdict instead only referring to "today& #39;s decision" though they dont acknowledge #ChauvinIsGuilty. They also dont mention George Floyd& #39;s name.
Of the 15 #NFL team statements, 8 directly name George Floyd while 7 do not including @vikings but also the @Raiders who are trying to be smart but end up being crass and tasteless.
It was late when I made this thread and I that the @Saints also acknowledged George Floyd& #39;s murder. Thus 5 NFL teams do the others being @Broncos @BuffaloBills @washingtonnfl @RamsNFL
