Former NFL running back DeMarco Murray and his wife, Heidi Mueller, reportedly donated $50,000 to the NAACP.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported the news, noting the donation is in an effort to "stand and fight for change in the world."
The donation also comes after Murray released a lengthy statement on May 31, saying, in part, "We must come TOGETHER and find a way to live amongst each other in a loving, respectful manner. Normality won't feel the same until we make a change and stand TOGETHER, unified as one nation":
Nationwide protests against racism and police brutality have dominated headlines since the killing of George Floyd on May 25 and have sparked a number of discussions and donations such as the one Murray made.
