Over recent weeks extra attention has been drawn to the Black Lives Matter movement after George Floyd and several other African-Americans were killed by police officers, a problem that has been present in the United States for generations.
Numerous athletes and celebrities have put out statements as well as taken action to help the cause, and that includes a number of current and former Los Angeles Dodgers teammates as well as the organization itself.
One player that had been relatively quiet on the matter was Clayton Kershaw, although that changed on Thursday when he put out a powerful statement in support of Black Lives Matter.
