Players throughout the NFL continue to use their platform to speak out on the death of George Floyd and protests around the country. We’ve heard from several Kansas City Chiefs players including Tyrann Mathieu and Chris Jones. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes had remained quiet until now, issuing a statement of his own.
“First, I send prayers to the family and friends of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Aubrey. As I have watched everything that has happened over the last week and even before then, I have tried to put my feelings into words. As a kid who was born with a black dad and white mom, I have been blessed to be accepted for who I am my entire life, but that isn’t the case for everyone. The senseless murders that we have witnessed are wrong and cannot continue in our country. All I can think about is how I grew up in a locker room where everyone is accepted. We all need to treat each other like brothers and sisters, and become something better. Let’s be the world where my little sister, generations to come, and even my future kids will grow up never having to experience these tragedies and instead love each other unconditionally!
Love and unite!”
