The NFL will air a one-minute commercial Sunday night that emphasizes togetherness in its ranks.
Commissioner Roger Goodell tweeted a link to the ad Sunday morning on a day that figures to feature unprecedented player demonstrations after three days of criticism by President Donald Trump.

"Inside these lines, we don't have to come from the same place to help each other reach the same destination," the voiceover on the ad says. "Inside these lines, we may have our differences, but recognize there's more that unites us."
The spot features images of the likes of Pat Tillman, Steve Gleason and Sarah Thomas, the NFL's first female official.
Goodell said the ad "reflects the unifying force of our great game, our players & clubs."
