In Atlanta, birthplace of Martin Luther King, Sportshour asks what progress the NFL has made since the height of the player protest last season. His daughter, Bernice, and current Patriot's player Matthew Slater join the debate.

The leagues first inclusion officer, Wade Davis, tells us he knows several gay players in the NFL who open about their sexuality to their team mates and coaches. And the legend of Atlanta Gladys Knight on the honour of singing the traditional prematch national anthem.
