San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman, one of the true leaders in the NFL, and respected by almost everyone in it, was asked a simple question: Will the horrifying killing of George Floyd change the racial dynamics inside locker rooms?
Will there be more conversations on race and racism? Or fewer? Or exposed nerves? Does Floyd's violent death change the way players will relate to each other?
"I don't think it will be much different," Sherman told B/R. "The locker room is different from society in that we are able to have conversations out of a place of respect, more times than not, because the stereotypes of society have usually been removed, or faded by the time people get to the NFL.
