Almost a week after the death of George Floyd, the Charlotte Hornets’ owner, Michael Jordan, has issued a statement.

In today’s world, there are many issues that face many Americans. On Saturday, the Charlotte Hornets finally responded to the death of George Floyd, who died in a police-related death on Memorial Day.

Floyd was being arrested by officers, but he died due to the actions of Officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on his neck. Since then, the nation has been in mourning for Floyd, and Officer Chauvin has also been arrested.
