Richard Sherman: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' silence on George Floyd's killing 'speaks volumes'

From single paragraphs expressing condolences to longer statements calling George Floyd’s killing in police custody a murder, the majority of NFL teams have spoken out in the wake of death that has rocked the country.

Even the NFL has come out and said Black Lives Matter after a push from several star players.

However, more than two weeks since Floyd’s death, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hasn’t released any sort of personal statement. One NFL All-Pro thinks that silence is a statement in itself.

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman discussed the relative lack of NFL team owners who have spoken up about Floyd’s death and racial inequality.
