Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and former NFL wide receiver Anquan Boldin are among the current and former athletes and coaches from the NBA and NFL who signed a petition urging United States Attorney General William Barr and the FBI to investigate the death of Ahmaud Arbery.
Boldin, who co-founded the Players Coalition in 2017, posted a copy of the petition on Twitter with the note that the "local investigation into this case is marred by conflicts" and a request for national investigators to step in to "help us move toward" the basic promise of equal justice.
