The Phoenix Suns and WNBA's Phoenix Mercury release a joint statement after former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty Tuesday on all counts in the murder of George Floyd last May.
“As Americans, as athletes, as business and community leaders, as role models with a platform, and as every day citizens focused on just doing the right things, our work as shepherds of social and racial justice never ends nor does our commitment to being a force for change, fighting injustice while celebrating and embracing diversity,'' the statement said.
"The Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury will continue to invest in communities of color, listen to leaders in the space of racial justice, and use our organizations’ voice and platform in the pursuit of an equal and peaceful society.
