New York Yankees: James Paxton speaks up against “white privilege”

The death of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of a white police officer in Minnesota has stirred up protest all around America. People are fighting for equality, and to stop racial hatred once and for all. Athletes have joined those voices, including New York Yankees‘ pitcher James Paxton.

Former Yankee legend Derek Jeter also spoke about the matter recently, and now Paxton is talking about how the so-called “white privilege” is not only a thing, but it needs to end right now.

Paxton went to his Instagram account to publish his thoughts on the matter.
