Packers Players Aren’t “Sticking to Sports,” Nor Should They

Packers players both former and present aren’t “sticking to sports” in times where continuous injustice is met by public outrage. George Floyd was heinously murdered by a police officer, and that can never be forgiven or ignored. It actually needs to be met head-on by anyone with a voice. Eye rolling and tuning out professional athletes who speak out on personal opinions must recognize this is a freedom granted to all of us. Why should they remain silent when we all have a platform to speak on? Athletes have a larger audience that many of us don’t, and that itself is extremely powerful.
