A such a large part of public life, professional sports leagues and teams are in a position to influence public opinion on various political, social, and cultural matters. For instance, following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, many athletes and NFL players called for an end to police brutality and advocated social change. During a June 2020 survey, 20 percent of sports fans strongly agreed that sports teams and leagues have a responsibility to use their influence to impact political and cultural issues in the United States.
