Before just about every game, Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins has raised his fist in the air during the national anthem, courting controversy. But that’s now about to change.

This week, Jenkins told media outlets that he would end his practice of raising his right fist after the NFL agreed to provide at least $89 million to “social justice” programs at the behest of the Players Coalition founded by Jenkins.
