Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said "people are waking up" to issues of systemic racism and police brutality in the United States.
He told Turron Davenport of ESPN that the killing of George Floyd after since-fired and arrested Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while arresting Floyd was "the straw that broke the camel's back, it finally got to the point where enough was enough."
"More and more people are getting an awakening to the reality of the situation and how deep it really is," he continued.
