If ever you wondered how active the Ohio State community is in change across the globe, the latest COVID-19 pandemic efforts, as well as the support of the George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter movement should tell you all you need to know.
To a myriad of former and current players speaking on the pandemic, to former Ohio State football players coming together to support the George Floyd protests, to many other instances, Buckeye Nation is one that’s looking to move things forward in a positive direction.
Take former Buckeye linebacker Joshua Perry for instance. The BTN personality recently took time to react to the current state of affairs with race and sports, and the formation of the Big Ten Anti-Hate and Anti-Race Coaltion. The Big Ten Network shared some of his comments to its Twitter profile below and it’s well worth watching and acknowledging. If you’d rather read his comments, we have them transcribed on the following page as well.
But first, the video that has a link to the entire conversation.
"The Big Ten is very diverse…You get all kinds of people from different walks of life."
Three valued members of the BTN family – @RIP_JEP, @ColeyHarvey and @TOWN1212 – held a powerful discussion on race, sports and current events.
