It was not an accident. It’s appalling to see another black person murdered. His life, along with countless others – Not valued. It is NOT enough to sit back and say, “I’m Not Racist”. We all have to be actively AGAINST racism in our society. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/pUg0XMj8Cr

George Floyd was clearly murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. How many times do we have to see black men killed on national television? This has been going on for entirely too long. We need to start seeing black people as human beings and not animals on the street.

Joey Burrow, 2020 NFL Draft first overall pick:
The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights.

My hope is that hockey players gain the confidence to address societal issues on public platforms away from the league of denial
It’s sad that some of the biggest names in hockey do not have a social media presence & a voice of their own#NHL #JusticeForGeorge https://t.co/vVY9dmqva5
