Though sometimes caricatured as a totally football-obsessed coach, Bill Belichick has far more depth to him than that.
As such, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, Belichick invited ACLU director Rahsaan Hall as a guest speaker to educate his team on the history of racism in America. With civil unrest sweeping the country, chalk talk needed to take a backseat to something more important.
On a video conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon, James White was grateful for Belichick’s willingness to take a timeout from football to tackle racial issues.
