This is a dark time for our country, and it hurts my heart. I’ve been hesitant to speak on this subject, but lately I’ve seen so many great examples of athletes using their platform to speak out that I decided it was time I step up. And especially after hearing about the three police officers killed in Baton Rouge this past weekend – back-to-back-to-back tragedies – I knew it was time to share my thoughts.
I’m tired of seeing dead bodies. We are seeing it so often, but that doesn’t mean we can become callous to it. As a black male with two black sons, this is scary.
