Nevada football team releases video in support of Black Lives Matter movement

Nevada football players and coaches posted a video on Twitter on Tuesday morning, stating their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

In the video, players and coaches read a short statement relating their experiences with racism and vowing support for Black Lives Matter.

Their personal stories included players talking about being followed in stores and having rocks thrown at them.
