Amidst the ongoing protests and tension sweeping the country after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died by homicide after being arrested by a white police officer in Minneapolis, many Boston sports figures and teams have spoken up.
On Saturday, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown drove 15 hours to lead a protest in Atlanta, and the following day, thousands of people, including Marcus Smart, Enes Kanter and Vincent Poirier, gathered on Boston Common to peacefully protest. That night, Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty and his brother, safety Devin McCourty, took time on their podcast, “Double Coverage”, to share their thoughts on the protests, specifically the looting and rioting.
