The Michigan State Spartans finally take the field on Saturday afternoon against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, and when the Spartans play this weekend, the players will be wearing “Black Lives Matters” stickers on their helmets.
This is part of the “United As One” initiative developed by the Big Ten Conference’s Equality Coalition, whose mission is “constructively and collectively recognizing and eliminating racism and hate in our society by creating resources for inclusion, empowerment and accountability.”
Rutgers will also participate with a message that says “Chop 4 Change” on the back of their players’ helmets.
