Yahoo: ‘Why NFL players kneel: Reason 1 million’: LeBron James, athletes speak out on George Floyd’s death
The video shared by athlete shows a white police officer with his knee on the neck of a black man.
The death of George Floyd has prompted some to connect what happened to the black man to the protests from Colin Kaepernick. Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter put it this way.
If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live. pic.twitter.com/kxpVOEeTNR
