The NNPA resolves to take the following steps to correct the inequities that are prevalent in professional sports:

1 - A committee of NNPA members will be created to air these grievances at the next meetings of the owners of the respective organizations;

2 - The owners and commissioners of the respective professional sports organizations will be urged to establish a policy of encouraging black investors through a program of setting aside a percentage of black ownership opportunities in the existing franchises and future expansion of teams;
