NFL to Enforce “Zero Tolerance” Policy on Homophobic Slurs
Currently, the NFL has a non-discrimination policy that includes discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. This zero-tolerance policy expands protections for the LGBT community.
NFL’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent expands on the new policy in the video. “We are all professionals. You have worked hard and excelled for the honor and the privilege of playing in the National Football League. So have your competitors and game officials. Respect them. No amount of emotion should give way to demeaning and offensive language or actions in our workplace. That includes the locker room, on the practice field, during a game or when traveling as a team,” Vincent said.
