Burrow On The Current Events

[BFritz21]

We've got a leader!

Quote:Cincinnati Bengals rookie Joe Burrow empathizes with Black people in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Many Americans have protested against police brutality and systemic racism in recent months following the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd by police officers. The shooting of Blake has deepened their anguish, something to which Burrow alluded:

"How can you hear the pain Black people are going through and dismiss it as nothing. How can you hear the pain and respond with anything other than 'I stand with you.'”

I don't agree with the riots, but I do agree that black people's voices need to be heard, which is another great thing he said because he didn't say that he supports the riots but just that they need to be heard.

I also love it because his teammates, white and black, have to pumped up that their quarterback is taking a stand against police brutality of black people!

He's going to lead us to the promised land!
