Lions coach Matt Patricia and his team have spent much of the last week engaged in some frank discussions about race, amid the protests and calls for justice in Detroit and cities across the country following the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
And late Wednesday afternoon, the team released a statement underscoring that point, stressing “a responsibility to create positive change” and vowing to build on the team’s ongoing social justice initiatives locally.
“Right is right and wrong is wrong,” the Lions’ statement read in part.
