Amid the Coronoavirus shutdowns, many sports leagues and stars have taken to social media to respond to the killing of George Floyd, the topic of police violence and the protests and reaction to those protests.
On Saturday as protests were held across the country, the NFL posted this on their social media channels:Not every team chose to make a statement on social media.
By my count, every NFL team social media account has addressed the protests against police brutality, to one extent or another, except two: the Bengals and Cowboys.
1 draft pick, quarterback Joe Burrow did make a statement on social media:The black community needs our help.
