JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars players, front office staff, their family and friends joined their voices with others across the nation Friday when they marched in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
A crowd of about 300 demonstrators met up in front of TIAA Bank Field, most wearing black-and-white Black Lives Matter T-shirts.
But for 41 years I’ve been a black man, so it’s very important that I use my platform to let everyone know that black lives do matter,” Wilford said.
The movement since Arbery’s death and that of George Floyd in Minneapolis, has pushed the cause forward.
That’s true history.”NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday also posted a video on social media condemning racism and the systematic oppression of black people.
