After months of only sporadic social media posts from individual players, the entire Leafs roster finally rolled back into the public eye yesterday morning as training camps opened around the league. The team decided to take a moment when they had the attention of most, if not all, Leafs fans to make a statement through the photos posted on their social media accounts.
Since the start of the protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made several statements as an organization in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
