A statement from Temple Student-Athletes:
We are outraged. We are upset. We are hurting. We are going to be a voice for change.
As Student-Athletes, we have to work as a collective unit to accomplish our missions and win.
"A house divided against itself can not stand." -Abraham Lincoln
We are currently in a battle within our country and our communities. In order to win this battle, we need every race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and creed to come together as one.
We feel that our athletic department needs to do more, and employ all our teams to be public and speak out against the recent racial injustices and police brutality in our country, now and in the future.
