USMNT's Tyler Adams Pays Homage to George Floyd With His Cleats

BERLIN (AP) — Tyler Adams joined several other Bundesliga soccer players in expressing his solidarity with George Floyd.

The American who plays for Leipzig posted a picture of the boots he wore in Monday’s game at Cologne, showing he had “Black Lives Matter” written on his left shoe and “Justice 4 George” on the right.

“As an African American who day in and day out is proud to represent America in the worlds game, I’m saddened and frustrated,” Adams wrote. “Collectively our voices will bring justice for these crimes. Enough is enough. Black lives Matter.
