Dodgers manager Dave Roberts offers an emotional response to current events.
On Tuesday, Dave Roberts, the first African American manager in Los Angeles Dodgers history, offered his thoughts about racism and the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed at the hands of white police officers in Minnesota that has sparked protests throughout the country.
Roberts points the finger at the country’s leaders for not being “good listeners” in order to learn what is required to promote change.
“For me, the leaders of our country, unfortunately, aren’t good listeners and that’s how you impose change,” Roberts told the Los Angeles Times.
